Upon this ball of earth...
Upon this ball of earth...
Look at the antics of mortal man!
Ah, look at his dance!
Hey hey, look at the dance, look at the dance!
Dance, dance, dance, dance!
Dance, dance, dance!
Upon this ball of earth,
look at mortal man dancing around!
Once he shuts both his eyes,
his funeral cart rolls down the street!
Bring it out in giant pots
and pour the country liquor!
In the master's funeral procession,
dance with all your might!
The poor and the rich here
are all equal in their share.
In the end, for every human,
they blow the funeral conch!
The poor and the rich here
are all equal in their share.
In the end, for every human,
they blow the funeral conch!

A one-rupee coin on the forehead
is the only wealth that goes with you!
Hey, just a single rupee, ah ah ah!
Just a single rupee, hey hey!
A single rupee, a single rupee!
Single, single, single, single!
Single, single, single!
That one-rupee coin on the forehead
is the only wealth that accompanies you!
So even the dead man joins the dance,
let's down a drink and break into a dance!
Those who drank the liquor
will dance till their dhotis come undone!
Only until the spot where the clay pot breaks
will the women weep and mourn!
Even if a thousand people surround you,
no one comes along with you, brother!
Even if you own a multistoried mansion,
only six feet of earth is your reality!
Even if a thousand people surround you,
no one comes along with you, brother!
Even if you own a multistoried mansion,
only six feet of earth is your reality!

Inside the body of a lower-caste person... eeh
Inside the body of a lower-caste person...
is it sewage that flows?
Tell me, sir, is it sewage that flows in our veins?
And for that upper-caste man... ooh...
For that upper-caste man...
if he has two horns, ah ah...
If he has horns, hey hey...
If he has horns, if he has horns...
Horns, horns, horns, horns...
Horns, horns, horns!
Inside the body of a lower-caste person...
is it sewage that flows?
If that upper-caste man has horns,
show them to us, sir!
All the people who sweat and labor
are labeled as lower-caste folks,
while those who sit idle and feast
are crowned as the high-caste lineage!
What kind of a country is this?
Hey, throw caste away!
Hey, what kind of a country is this?
Bury caste deep in the ground!
What kind of a country is this?
Hey, throw caste away!
Hey, what kind of a country is this?
Bury caste deep in the ground!
