Our fair Calcutta, Golden Calcutta What has she done to your fair name Oh, Aamaar Shonaar Kolkaataa? Our fair Calcutta, Golden Calcutta What has she done to your fair name Oh, Aamaar Shonaar Kolkaataa? Oh, my Golden Calcutta You're a city for all seasons Now the whole world is talking about you For all the wrong reasons All they talk about are those slums All they know about are those nuns The City of Beggars, they call you While the City of Letters you are Our fair Calcutta, Golden Calcutta What has she done to your fair name Oh, Aamaar Shonaar Kolkaataa? The Western Media focuses on your poverty They start to annoy Someone is writing best-sellers on your misery He's calling it Joy What about us, the High Society? They should write about us, we make this City Our social clubs, with Johan Strauss waltzes Our Racing tracks, with thoroughbred horses A vintage automobile, tea with chamomile A colonial bungalow, poetry by Tagore Now that is the real Calcutta Our fair Calcutta, Golden Calcutta What has she done to your fair name Oh, Aamaar Shonaar Kolkaataa? Let's make a few calls to our friends in high places And thwart her plans, before she defaces The genteel name of our grand old city Let's badger and bully our Municipality To cancel permissions and start litigation Before she destroys our fair reputation With homes for people with tuberculosis Leprosy, AIDS And extreme halitosis We must save our city from her hypnosis We must save ourselves and our family names And our real estate prices from this Charitable psychosis Our sweet Calcutta, Mishti Doi Calcutta We shall remove this blot on your name You shall not be an object of shame Grand old Dame, we'll protect your fame Oh, Aamaar Shonaar Kolkaataaaaaaaaaaaaaa
