Gun gun guna re, gun gun guna re,
hum, hum this song,
gun gun guna ye gaana re
hum, hum this song...
Ho maayoosion ke chonge utaar ke phenk de na saare
remove and throw away all the robes of of disappointment,
Candle yeh shaam ka phoonk raat ka cake kaat pyaare
blow away the candle of evening and cut the cake of night,
Seekha na tune yaar humne magar sikhaaya re
you didn't learn but we taught you,
Dumdaar nuskha yaar humne jo aazmaya re
as we tried this strong recipe
Aansuon ko chooran chaba ke humne dakaar maara re
we chewed the chooran (digestive powder) and burped..
Gun gun guna re, gun gun guna re,
hum, hum this song,
gun gun guna yeh gaana re
hum, hum this song...
Hain, sar pe tere uljhanon ke jo ye tokre
the baskets of problems that are there on your head,
La humko de de halka hoja re tu chhokre
give them to us, you become light-headed o boy,
Jo teri neendein apne naakhoon se noch le
all those pains that pinch away your sleep with their nails,
woh dard saare jalte chulhe mein tu jhonk re
push them into a burning stove..
Zindagi ke raashan mein, gham ka quota zyada hai
in the ration of life, the quota of sadness is more
Black mein khareedenge khushi ka pitaara re
we'll buy in black the box of joy..
Gun gun guna re, gun gun guna re,
hum, hum this song,
gun gun guna yeh gaana re
hum, hum this song...
Tu, munh phulaa de to ye sooraj bhi dhalne lage
if you become angry, this sun begins to set,
Arrey tu muskura de, chand ka bulb jalne lage
if you smile, the bulb of moon gets on,
Tu chup rahe toh maano behri lage zindagi
if you are silent, the life seems deaf,
Tu bol de toh parde kaano ke khulne lage
if you speak, the curtains of ears open up,
Ek band botal ke, jaisa kaahe baitha hai
why are you sitting like a closed bottle,
Khaali dil se bhar de na, glass yeh hamara re
fill this glass of ours with this heart alone..
Gun gun guna re, gun gun guna re,
hum, hum this song,
gun gun guna yeh gaana re
hum, hum this song...
Ho.. bindas hoke har gham ko yaar khoonti pe taang dunga
I'll be carefree and hang every sorrow on a spike,
Thoda udhaar main itminaan tumse hi maang lunga
a little patience I'd borrow from you only..
Hai seekha hai maine yaar jo tumne sikhaaya re
I have learnt what you have taught me,
Dumdaar nuska yaar maine bhi aazmaaya re
as I too have tried this strong recipe
Aasuon ka chooran chaba ke maine dakaar maara re
we chewed the chooran and burped..
