Mera Joota Hai Japani [English translation]

My shoe is Japanese, this pants is English

Red Russian hat on the head but heart is still Indian

My shoe

Walking on open road with proud

Where is destination, where to end, God knows

Moving forward as a tourist, like a stormy river

Red Russian hat on the head but heart is still Indian

My Shoe

Up and down, down and up, this is how wave of life moves

Silly is the one who asks path to homeland, sitting on the bank

Moving forward is story of life, cessation is sign of death

Red Russian hat on the head but heart is still Indian

My Shoe

Rajkanwar might be a king, i am disaffected prince

I can go and sit on throne whenever i decide

Face is familiar, world is surprised

Red Russian hat on the head but heart is still Indian

My Shoe
