Aaja aaja aaja khelen antakshariCome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari,
Gaane hai yeh mehnat mere din raat kithese songs are the fruit of my day and night hustle.
Geet yaad karle aur ga jaldiRecall a song and sing it quickly!
Aaja aaja aaja khelen antakshariCome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari,
Aaja aaja aaja khelen antaksharicome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari.
Antakshari yeh khel hai sangeet kaAntakshari is a game played with music.
Aakhiri shabd pakad aur kaunsa bhi geet gaCatch the last word and sing any song you know.
Party tere taraf se toh leke aaja pizzaIf the party’s on you, then bring over some pizza.
Munh chalata rishtedaron se main jaise twistaI talk back to my relatives fast, just like Twista.
Urja tere se galat aa rahi tu door jaI’m getting bad vibes from you, so stay away.
Paise diye dost ko toh wapas lena bhool jaIf you lent money to a friend, just forget about getting it back.
Mathe pe hai tilak mere aankhon mein hai surmaI’ve a sacred mark on my forehead and kohl in my eyes.
Jaat mein na fark hindustan mera mulk haThere’s no divide in caste, India is my home.
Sangeet ka chaska jab se tha main beta das kaI’ve been hooked on music since I was just ten.
Mere kandhe pe tha basta school ke bench pe chadhke bajtaWith a bag on my shoulder, I’d drum on the school benches.
Abhi stage pe hoon main bajtaNow, I’m the one performing on the stage.
Kisi ke baap se nai main dartaI’m not afraid of anyone’s threats.
Kheechu rapper log ki taang jaise main kapil sharmaI pull other rappers’ legs like a famous comedian.
Abbey ghar ja yeh hai paapi log ka addaGo back home, this is a den for dangerous people.
Jeb se gaayab karte batwa usi yeh nikalte kharchaThey’ll snatch your wallet to cover their own bills.
Mera manager in dhakaMy manager is out in Dhaka.
Arre sorry aama aaj main phir se bhool ke aaya dabbaOh, I’m sorry Mom, I forgot my lunchbox again today.
Arre kyun nikalre pattaHey, why are you getting aggressive?
Ab toh ho gaya main badaI’ve finally grown up now.
Khud ke kadmon pe main khadaI’m standing firmly on my own two feet.
Schezwan chutney kapdon pe main nahi tha kisi se ladaI’ve got sauce on my clothes, but I wasn’t in a fight.
Arre chhod na tu tu tu tuJust let it be, forget the bickering.
Ab toh beat bhi ho gayi hai khatam mere bhai ki mujh mein rhythmThe beat is ending, but I’ve still got the rhythm in me.
Point se bhatak gaye chal hook pe aate returnWe’ve strayed from the point, let’s get back to the chorus.
Aaja aaja aaja khelen antakshariCome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari,
Gaane hai yeh mehnat mere din raat kithese songs are the fruit of my day and night hustle.
Geet yaad karle aur ga jaldiRecall a song and sing it quickly!
Aaja aaja aaja khelen antakshariCome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari,
Aaja aaja aaja khelen antaksharicome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari.
Sun sun sunListen, listen, listen.
Body nahi bani toh main words karta flexI don’t have the muscles, so I flex with my words.
Ek problem hui khatam uske baad aajata nextOnce one problem ends, the next one arrives.
Ay listen at my worst I can beat you at your bestHey listen, even at my worst, I can beat you at your best.
Paise kamao kya karoge leke respectJust earn your money, what’s respect going to do for you?
Main galat hoon ya correctWhether I’m wrong or I’m right,
I don’t know but I’m the bestI don’t know, but I’m still the best.
Kiski roti kiski breadWhose daily bread is it?
Aur yahan kiska bhar raha plateAnd whose plate is getting filled here?
Music ke liye nahi bani koi border na koi gateThere are no borders or gates for music.
Aksar paani aankhon mein bharke main likhta laakeI often write my songs with tears welling in my eyes.
Meri vaani jaise basuri ki boliMy voice is as melodic as a flute,
Jise main sunata storytelling a story to whoever listens.
Mera dost jaise choochaMy friend is a total joker,
Aur hai bandi meri bholiand my girlfriend is so innocent.
Ae flow switch hi karta rehta beech beech meinI keep switching up the flow every now and then.
Aag vaag laga deta hu stage vege peI set the whole stage on fire with my energy.
Kabhi kabhi main rap karta breakbeats peSometimes I choose to rap over breakbeats.
Mujhe pyaar chahiye door rehta hatred seI only want love, I stay far away from hatred.
Ae bachpan wale khel mein hai aaj bhi woh saadgiThat childhood game still holds the same simplicity.
Farsh par hum sote tabhi rehti mujh mein saadgiI sleep on the floor, and that keeps me humble.
Sangeet ke khel se hi career ki shuruaat kiI started my career with this game of music.
Khayal aaya baithe baithe likh diya antakshariThe thought came to me while sitting around, so I wrote Antakshari.
Aaja aaja aaja khelen antakshariCome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari,
Gaane hai yeh mehnat mere din raat kithese songs are the fruit of my day and night hustle.
Geet yaad karle aur ga jaldiRecall a song and sing it quickly!
Aaja aaja aaja khelen antakshariCome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari,
Aaja aaja aaja khelen antaksharicome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari,
Aaja aaja aaja khelen antakshari yocome on, come on, come on, let’s play Antakshari, yo.
