Let's play, let's play,
Come, with hearts ablaze, we'll play.
Play, play, play, play,
Let's play, let's play,
Come, with all our souls, we'll play.
A balm for a thousand sorrows,
Play erases our woes.
If we play, we'll learn what life is,
Greater than all intoxications,
Drunk in this game.
If we play, we'll change all seasons.
Chase away anger, sadness,
Forget hatred and complaints, know this.
Win, lose, fall, rise again,
Taste the true, fresh joy of health.
If we play this game,
Oh, we'll change our land,
Oh, tighten your belts, play India!
Let's play, let's play,
Come, with hearts ablaze, we'll play.
Let's play, let's play,
Come, with all our souls, we'll play.
Drip, drip, drip, drip,
Sweat drops as we play,
As if pearls within the shells appear.
Thump, thump, in the heart,
Our hearts now race,
As if the zeal is given two wheels.
In the revelry of the fields, hearts are bound,
And those hearts are also made larger than the fields.
No matter the size of promises,
In the fields of play, all stand together.
Oh, this small ball,
Will change the whole game,
Oh, toss the ball, play India!
Let's play, let's play, India!
Come, with hearts ablaze, we'll play.
Let's play, let's play,
Come, with all our souls, we'll play.
