Arre poocho naahi mooche taraase talvaari 
Arre don’t even ask how sharp my mustache is 
Mooche hi toh dekh ke Kaurav ki fauj haari 
This mustache was what scared the whole Kaurav* army 
away (a very infamous army in the epic Mahabharata)

Like a scented lotion

Billu ki panti jaise cycle ki ghanti 
Billu’s stick is like a bicycle bell (used like the bell 
to warn people to move out of his way) 
Panti ki sandal jaise cycle ka handle 
The curved part is like a bicycle handlebar 
Billu ki panti jaise cycle ki ghanti 
Billu’s stick is like a bicycle bell 
Billu ki panti jaise cycle ki ghan-ghan-ti 
Majra maar Billu pedal toh maar babua Billu hamaar

Oh jara pedal toh maar 
C’mon put your leg to the pedal

Oye all you people, stop all this noise! 
Tumhari aise ke taisa sab dhapak dhapak lag hajjaam 
hajjaam kar hat! 
What are you all yelling hajjam hajjam for! 
Band kar I nautanki…haiiiin 
Stop all this drama! 
Are mooh ka dekh raha be 
What are you staring at my face for? 
Kisi raja maharaja ka raju raju kehke bulauge ka? 
Would you call a king by any ordinary name? 
Yeh Billua ko Hajjaam naahi 
Don’t call this Billu a hajjaam (one who cuts hair, 
shaves beards) 
Barber keh kar bulaao 
Call him a Barber 
Barber aur voh bhi ijjat se 
And that too with respect 
Billu Barber, samjhe ke naahi! 
Billu Barber, understand? 
Na dain kheenke panhaiiya ek sasura maar de pataak se 
Otherwise you’ll get a tight slap across your face

So call him Billu Barber 
Billu hamaar, Billu hamaar 
Our very own Billu 
Billu ko bulaao bhaiyya Billu barber 
Call him Billu Barber
