Lyrics & English Translation of 'Mujhe Kya Bechega Rupaiya(Satyamev Jayate)'

Babul pyare sajna sakha re..
Suno o meri maiyya..
Bojh nahi main kisi ke sar ka..
Naa majhdhar mein naiyya..
Patwar banoongi, leharon se ladungi..
Arey mujhe kya bechega rupaiya..
Ho arey mujhe kya bechega rupaiya..!

O dear father, o beloved, friend..
Listen o my mother..
I am not a burden on anyone's head..
Nor is my boat in the midstream..
I'll be the oar, I'll fight the waves..
How can money sell me..
O, how could money ever sell me..!

Kal baba ki ungli thaame chali thi..
Kal baba ki lathi bhi bann jaaungi..
Amma tere gharonde ki chidiya hoon main..
Daana lekar hi wapas ghar aaungi..

Yesterday I was walking holding the father's finger..
Tomorrow I'll become his walking stick too..
O mother I am the bird of your nest..
I'll come back home with grain only..

Jiski fitrat mein hairat samaayi nahi..
Jisko daulat se zyada main bhaayi nahi..
Aise saajan ki mujhko zaroorat nahi..
Naa kehne ka sun lo muhurat yahi..
Akeli chalungi, Kismat se milungi..
Arey mujhe kya bechega rupaiya..
Ho arey mujhe kya bechega rupaiya..
Ho ho ho..

In whose nature there is no curiosity..
who didn't like me more than he liked money..
I don't need such a partner..
Listen, this is the time to say no..
I'll walk alone, I'll meet the fate..
How can money sell me..

Dil se dil ke taar toh jude nahi..
Do rasmon pe daulat ye kaahe bahe..
Hum toh pyaar ki khwahish mein rishte bunein..
Do rishton mein lalach hum kaahe sahein..
Kya shaadi ke aage zindagi hi nahi..
Jo shaadi hisaabo ki keval hai bahi..
Aise saajan ki mujhko zaroorat nahi..
Naa kehne ka sun lo muhurat yahi..

The wires of hearts weren't attached..
then why waste money on a couple of customs?..
We weave relations, willing for love..
Why should we bear greed for a couple of such relations..
Is there no life at all ahead of marriage..
that marriage alone is the book of all records?..
I don't need such a partner..
Listen, this only is the time to say no..

Subaha si khilungi, 
Ratiya si bharungi..
Arey mujhe kya bechega rupaiya..!
Ho arey mujhe kya bechega rupayya..!

I'll blossom like a morning,
I'll be filled like a night..
How can money sell me..!
How can money ever sell me..!
