''Kanu Kayen's son Gopinath.. has a penchant for
singing
Dije Uncle,
-Hey!
Look atthis
-What isthat?
Tanpura...formymusic
What music?
Music of the maestro... Great Goopynath
A farmer you are...
A maestro l become
Come fiver, come to my hand!
lt's going to be a fiver... it's going to be... a fiver...fiver...
My goodness! You?
l salute you lords
Looks like the second Pandava with his club!
What's this?
Let us see
Greatl.
A great thingto have
What price it is?
Well... Gosain uncle of Panchpur... it belongs to him
only
Pallab Gosain?
-Yes Sirs
But he is a maestro
-That he is!
Eveymorning he's busypractising his lessons... and
well, l havethat penchant,too...
forthe lastfewdays, l've been keenlyfollowing his
Iessons...
l saw that he has two tanpuras... one for his use... and
the other lies idle in the corner.
Todayl managedto ask him ifhewould give methat
one... one he doesn't use...
... he said, ''Good God! That one is doomed
But l said it could serve mypurpose.
Then he said, ''Why will l give it away for free?''
l said I was just a poor shopkeeper; where would l get
the money?
He said, ''Do my work.'' l asked what kind of work
He asked me to blend the tobacco in the hookah for
him, and l did.
Asked me to massage his feet, and l also did that.
Then he asked me to draw water from the well. l did.
''k*ll the rats in the storeroom,'' he said, and l did.
Such huge rats, you won't believe. One blow with the
bamboo stick and they...
Oh, it's alright!
And so he gave you this.
-Yes Sirs
Pulled the ears himself, and handed it to me. Even now
my ears hurt
What do you say?Your ears?
Both my ear and this fellow's.
He said, ''Music lies both in your and your instrument's
ears. When you pull them both,they create harmony!''
Oh, harmony! Absolutely right!
Do one thing, boy... sing a number for us.
Let's test both the instrument and its owner.
Sing, shall l?
-Of course you must.
But l know only one song, my lords.
-Sing that one only
No need to sing something heavy
Well, actually... it's a song of the dawn, but dawn seems
to be over now.
Of course it's still there. Dawn doesn't run away like
that. You start.
The shadow of this stick... as long as it doesn't touch
that stone... dawn is still there.
You sing
So, shall l?
-Yes, sure
Keep a watch on that shadow, my lords
-Oh sure
l become lost in my song.
-Don't you worry. Just sing.
Behold!
With eyes wide open
The beauty of this wor...
But Dawn is overl.
The time was too short! If l had a few more minutes, l
could have sung the whole song.
Look here Gopinath
You do one thing
Our Raja...
-The King,you know
He's a connoisseur of music
Very patronising!
You go and sing your song in front of him.
Oh what are you telling me, my lords?Why will they allow
me inside the palace?
But, why do you need to enter?
Your song will enter.
And enter it will... right into the King's ears!
Straight through the ears,
The heart it will pierce
lf only you would suggest how it's going to be possible
The King is an early riser
Be there right before daybreak[coughs]... Beside the
wall you will find a broken... [coughs]...
A broken temple
Sitting there and facing the palace...
Just start crooning...
... and see what happens next
But what might happen, mylords?
Listen. When the King asks your name,tell him your
name is Gopinath Gayen
Gayen!
He that sings
Is called a'Gayen'
Gayen!
You said l sing out of tune, but the babus of the village
praised me a lot. l performed before them.They were
telling...
What were they telling?
Nothing
Did God stuff enough grey matter in your head that you
would understand their mockery?
This poor father's simple words were not enough for
you; you went for the opinion of those babus!
So excited you are about their 'praises' that you didn't
even care to do some housework!
What do you think of yourself? Off to the shop, right
now!
lf l even hear the word 'music' from tomorrow, l'll
smash that tanpura to pieces! Wild beast!
Behold!
Behold!
Behold
With eyes wide open
The beauty of this world
The beauty of this world!
The beauty of this world!
Darkness fades
As Dawn unfurls
Guard!
Guard, my foot!
Yes Sir?
Whoever is yelling outside, bring him inside!
-Okay Sir
Go!
Come on, let's go
-Where?
To the palace
lnside the palace?
-Yes, absolutely
Did the King call me?
-Oh yes, he did.
Did he hear mysong?
-Oh yes, he heard
What did he say?
-He said alot.
Name?
My name?
The King is asking your name,tell him
-Yes, tell him,tell him
My name is Sri Gopinath Gayen
Gayen... Gayen
Gopinath Gayen
Why were you yelling?
Why were you yelling? Why? Why?
-Why? Why?
Well, l didn't really yell... Sir.
l just sang the morning Raaga.
Here's my tanpura
Show it
Show it, show it
Got it from Gosain uncle of Pashpukur.
Do you know the octave?
Well...
-The seven notes of music. Do you know the seven
notes?
Yes Sir
What is the third note?
Ga!
Sixth note?
Dha
Put together,what do they mean?
Put together...
Put him on a donkey and throw him out of this village!
On the orders of the King...
Gopinath Gayen is being ousted from this Amlaki
village
Third note and sixth one
Third note and sixth one
Goopy walks the long road
The long road!
Where are you off to?
On and on and on
The road just goes on
Goopy is on a high
Only a little worry by the by
After dark, in the woods
If the tiger comes
And hunts Goopy down
Oh God! My back aches! Halt halt
Go! Go back to Amlaki
Go, go
Who there?
-Oh my God!
Shut up!
-Shut up!
Beware!

My name?
-Or else whose
My name is Sri Gopinath Gayen
From?
-Amlaki
Your?
-Harrtuki
But why are you here?
Threw me out. Put me on a donkey and drove me out of
the village.
The King?
-How did you know?
lt left
Oh no, it hasn't yet.
Ran awayl.
Why, did it get scared?
Shouldn't it? After all, it's me! Do you know my name?
Bagha... a tiger!
Bagha?
Bagha Bayen
Start singing, you're a Gayen! The tiger won't come!
Sa Sa Sa Sa Ga Re
Tiger gets scared away
Sa Sa Sa Sa Ga Re
Tiger gets scared away
Two of us
In deep waters
No one to save us
Each one for the other
Baghada
What's all this?
Sing along, sing along!
-Shall l?
After dark
In the wood's
In the bushes
Someone is there
Ghostsl.
Goopy Bagha... Goopy Bagha...
Fear not
Goopy Bagha
No need to fear
Good fellows that you are
Come a bit near!
You know us?
-You know our names?

Name l know, and address too
Ousted by the King
You know not what to eat
And where to go.
Oh yes, sir...we are really in trouble.
Don't know what to do
l'm here, so why worry?
Boons you get
Once l'm happy,
Three boons only!
Three boonsl.
Three and three only,
So, careful you better be;
Tell me which ones
You want from me
Sir, may we never run out of food and clothes
Food and clothes, alright!
Make a clap with both hands
Your palm and his as well,
All you want will come at once;
What else do you want?
We really love to go places
-Yes, if only we could travel
Going places,travel you want?
Put on your shoes and clap your hands
Your palm and his as well
Off you goto places and travel!
Sir, if only we could sing and entertain people...
Yes, sure why not?
Songs, rhythm, melody

Stun people and turn them to stone
That will happen, once you play on.

Text
We've eaten a lot.We're full now.
We don't have money also. Poor as we are!
You're giving it for free?
You are really a good person
Don't you talk?
Dumb?
Let's go
lf they don't allow us inside?
Why're you so scared? Let's give it a try
Stop all this scampering of yours. Take your seat. We'll
talk.
The way yourmagic is going... how long will you be
there?
Three days?
Then we don't have much time.
We have to finish everything by then
Listen Barrfi
lt's becoming almost mandatory to conquer Shundi
Like a ripe fruit just at your arm's length.... only needs
to be plucked!
But if the people are mute as you, is it possible to rule
such a country?
lf they don't convey their wish, is it possible to prevent
them from getting what they want?
So, it's time for you to show your wizardry.
Make a strong medicine,that will prompt all of those
fellows to start chattering
Can you do that?
l want it by tomorrow
Come on, let's visit the King for the Shundi thing
What?
O Emperor
O Emperor
We salute you
Salute!
Salute!
We hail from the land of Bengal
We hail from the land of Bengal
We're just simpletons
Visiting places and lands
We're just simpletons
Visiting places and lands
We know no language
Other than our own
We know no language
Other than our own
O Emperor!
O Mr. King!
But some other language we know...
Proud to tell you so
We've come only for that, O king!
But some other language we know...
Proud to tell you so
We've come this far, O king.
O Emperor!
That language is our song
Hear us with heart and soul, O King!
The language of melody, of rhythm...
That of beats, of happiness...
The language of melody, of rhythm, of beats, of
happiness
The language it speaks
Understand all and sundry
Understand all and sundry
This language of music
The rich,the poor,the high,the low
Are all equal
Before this language, O King!
Sing we in this language
We sing in this very language
Sing,we do...
O Emperor
Salute to you!
w*r! w*r!
-w*r!

-Yes w*r
Did you send the messenger?
-What?
Was the messenger to Shundi sent for announcing
w*r?
- ''What''!
He'll go tomorrow
-Tomorrow
ls the army ready?
-Yes, l've got it announced by the drum
Drums! Drums! All this nonsense!
The spy brought the news today itself
Besides,we have to collect the taxes... quite a strenuous
job... and it is not practically possible to start w*r at such
short notice.
Why are you whispering? My ears tickle.Whatever you
say, say it loudly.
-Yes Sir
Yes Maharaj
Where's the General?
General
Why areyou putting on weight?
Well, from the beginning, he is...
From the beginning he is...
Do the soldiers obey you?
Of course Maharaj! The soldiers must be obeying him...
they must be.
Start the parades from tomorrow
-The parades
Yes
-Parade
l will keep watch from my roof
lf l see even a slight mistake, your...
Fountain inside the room?
What kind of a bird is this?
Baghada
Yes
The arrangements are good
This will do
Taste one
-Let me wash my hands and face
Oh, for you also
Hey
Can you make a hookah for me?
Go and make a hookah with some good tobacco
You smoke?
-Yes
Blessed by the King of Ghosts!
-Really nice boons he gave, right?
Blessed by the King of Ghosts. Have the food.
Baghada,the King part is over... now what about the
princess?
That will also take place. Why hurry?
Fan me faster
Baghada, do you think this King has got princesses?
Even if there was, she would certainly not come out
and dance in front of us...
We Salute you, King!
l'm really so happy to have met you...
...that l can't describe.
You can speak, sir?
-You're not dumb?
You thought l am mute as my subjects?
lt was not that
Ten years earlier, I went fora long tour with my family.
ln my absence, my subjects lost their power of speech
due to an epidemic
All my people
That's why this music contest?
Your guess is perfect
l'm very much a music lover.
Without music, it's not possible for me to survive.
Your music has pleased me a lot.
We're also very happy to hear that. In our villlages, the
Iocal King threwus out of the village because we sang.
ls this possible?
Well, earlier we didn't sing so well. Then...
...what happened was... it became expert. His voice and
my hands!
Whatever God does, He does it for our good.
Your hookah
Oh no, l'm not addicted to tobacco
New to the office jobs! Go, we don't need tobacco here.
Listen, O great King...
Shundi Raja, listen
O King, listen
We're so happy
Really happy
lndeed happy
-lndeed happy to come to your land
This land is beyond comparison
Beyond comparison
-This land is beyond comparison
The soil bears gold here
The soil bears gold here
This land is so beautiful
Of unmatched splendor
Of countless qualities
O King,we're indeed happy,
To come to such a land
To come to your land,
To come to Shundi
The people here are speechless
The people here are speechless, wordless
Yet they come near,
Smile at you
And show their love
The King of this land
SaIute, Kingl.
The king ofthis land,
No endto his grandeur!
The king ofthis land,
No endto his grandeur!
This King is a simple king
An honest king
This king has given us home
-Given us home
Has given all we want
-Has given
ln such a land, O King...
ln this land,we...
-The two of us...
amidst all the comfort
-We're happy here
ln your land,the land of Shundi
ln your land,the land of Shundi
l'm coming from Halla
Wow! What news have you brought?
Our King has sent you this
Halla's King is my own brother. He was innocent as a
chid.
Haven't got his news for a long time now
Nowl see he is bent upon doing me harm
lf l don't surrender within three days, he will come with
his troops and conquer my land.
Can't we prevent this w*r?
ls it easy at all to prevent awar?
lf we go there?
Gowhere?
-To that Halla or whatever you said
You make me laugh
-Why?
Do you know Halla's distance?
to cover such a long distance on foot?
We won't need horses or anyything like that.We have a...
We'll walk. We're quite accustomed.
Just walk on foot.
Please let us go once.
lf we are unable to do anyything, we will return.
No one knows us there
So,why not?
The way you are requesting, how can l not keep that?
lf you're able to prevent this w*r,then I will marry one
of you to my only daughter.
Daughter?
Princess?
Monimala is the apple of my eye... my... my
the beat of my heart
lsn't she married yet?
Worrying about her has made me quit eating and
sleeping.
See you King; tomorrow early in the morning, we will
start for Halla
Don't worry at all. We'll bring the King right in front of
you.
We have only two days in hand. Everything has to be
done within this.
Yes, but where do we clap?
Hush! Let's move on. Someone might see us
Baghada
Princess
Are you sure?
-Monimala
Not the maid?
-Shut up! Are maids supposed to be so fair?
She looked
-Straight at me
The bird flew away
-She must have seen you
Let's go
Camels...Arise
What's all this?
-Parades, my Lord
Your bloody head!
This you call a parade! Nothing!
You're planning a w*r with these skinny rascals! l'll
behead each one of them.
Don't take a hasty decision, Emperor. Please give it a
though.
lf what the spy said was wrong... if Shundi does have
troops.. if we are at all required to fight...
lf this happens... if this... if that
lf you fight, what will you fight with? Do you need these
heads?
All the same if you have them or not
Don't laugh
Are you collecting the taxes or are they all due?
-Not at all
Lie!
-No,why should l lie, great King?
Those who are not paying taxes, l've asked all of them
to be brought to you.You just have to scold them a bit
And all of them will pay up at the drop of a hat
Where are they taking them?
Hey uncle!
What?
-Where are they taken?
To the King's palace
-Why?
For trial
Why?Are they robbers?
No,they haven't paid the tax. So, they will be tried
-Why?
Why haven't they paid the tax?
Why pay taxesto a king who can not provide food to
all?
Got it
Shundi's King was right. Shall we see the palace?
Not by clapping. Let's go by foot.
Go
Go
Stand here properly
Sir,these are the rogues who haven't paid their taxes.
Call the executioner
Executioner?Why him?
lf you can't take orders how come you're a Minister?
Executioner.
Chop eveyone's heads off!
First chop them to pieces. And then...
Collecting taxes!
Baghada
HeyBagha, my friend
Oh hey Goopy!
Let's slip away
Hush-hush, my friend!
Let's run away, get away, slip away
Hush-hush my friend!
Such weird ways...
LittIe is Ieft to know of them.
My God! My God!
Such weird ways...
LittIe is Ieft to know of them.
My God! My God!
The King of Halla and his shouts
Were enough to snatch our guts
The King of Halla and his shouts
Were enough to snatch our guts
Only the head is left now
No head means no food to take
Without the head
Living would be tough for sure
Good God! Good God!
Save yourself now, old boy!
Run away, run away now!
No!
Maharaj!
-No, no!
No, no
My little king!
Come on... come now
l sense something wrong here
Why?
When I was singing, l saw...
the King's eyes filled with tears
Saw it in that King's eyes also
When he was shouting, it seemed he was the Devil
incarnate
and that fat man beside him...
-He is the Minister
Demon.
Ravana
lt's important to keep a watch on him.
l've thought of it. We'll go right into his room. Let's see
what he is upto.
lf he sees us?
-We'll run away
We're spies. If we don't know their plan,we can't
prevent thewar.
You have time till tonight
lf you get those two fellows by then, it's good.. or else
you'll be beheaded
And if l do?
What do you expect?
-No sir
Want to taste meat?
-Didn't have for a long time
Why do you always keep nosing for food?
The w*r is round the corner. Everyone is busy
And these two loafers... God knows where they came
from. Andyou are after food all the while
First bring them to me. Then we'll think of food.
Get Iost.
Come Barfi.. Sit down
What's this?
The medicine for the dumb?
lf we apply this medicine, deaf mute people will talk?
Make it clear to me in your language
How do we apply it?
You won't be there at Shundi
l have to do everything
Take a pinch of
Drop it on the ground?
Put it on fire
There will be smoke all around
Then everyone can talk, right?
Listen Barfi
Sit down
l have something important to tell you
Two young fellows have come here
Their songs are reviving the King to his normal state
Make such a strong drug that he remains forever under
its influence.
Where are those fellows right now?
Where are the two now?
ln the norrth?
ln Halla?
This side of the river?
What? Roaming around the fort?
What?
lnside this room?
Freeze!
Freeze!
Freeze!
And you remain there!
Mr. Minister
The Great Dictator
Freeze,will you?
Mr. Minister
The Great Dictator
Freeze,will you?
Your tricks and turns
We know them all
Your tricks and turns
We know them all
Out in the open they are,
All those cunning tricks
Open Sesame
Freeze there
Mr. Minister
The Great Dictator
You've seen the bird, and not the trapl.
Frown you so much on seeing that
You've seen the bird, and not the trap.
Frown you so much on seeing that
Once you set foot in the trap,
You're all dried up!
Once you set foot in the trap,
You're all dried up!
Bang on!
O Great Minister
Freeze for good!
O Great Minister
Remain in alert!
lf we can drop the Minister on this thorn bushes!
Baghada,what shall we do now?
Think hard
Today and tomorrow... only two days
Day after tomorrow the troops will start marching
Whatever there is to do,we have to do them by this
time, understood?
-Yes l know
Know what Baghada,we are not cut out for this
princess and stuff
The three boons were enough for us
Speaking only nonsense! Can't you say something
useful? Only thinking of the Princess!
After that heavy meal,the brain isn't working.
Baghada,where can we get some good ghee?
Simple! Made from the cream of the milk of a cow's
ghost!
Do ghosts eat such stuff?
-They might as well
No death, no diseases.
Could go on without eating as well. Ghosts after all!
O Barfi!
Oh my God!
Barfi
Good reasons why l avoid coming here!
How much longer will you take?
l can't sleep at night due to anxiety
Oh yes l'm having patience. But the only cause ofwory
is...
... if the drug doesn't act at the right moment, we will be
ruined
lt works only till the time he sits on the throne.
Or else, eveyone in this country will be beheaded... me
for certain
Even you
Don't joke with me Barfi
lt's not a time to joke about
There is much work to do
We have to suppress the King
We also have to punish those two imps
What l understand is they are no less than you in
wizardry.
Oh why are you getting fired up, Barfi?
l didn't mean that. They are like dust when compared to
you
Leave us!
-What's all this?
Birds chirp
As Daybreak embarks
Time for you to sit on the throne, dear!
Why?
lf you just keep on playing like that, people will say bad
things. Will it be good for us?
Especially since the w*r starts tomorrow!
w*r?
A great w*r!
Or else how will your empire expand?
The weapons will be rusted
But who will fight?
Poor dear! Again uttering childish gibberish!
Just fight for these two days, and then you'll be free
Free?
Your vacation starts! Now open your mouth. You have
to take this medicine,you know. Open wide... here we
go!
Have it..yeah..yeah
w*r!
Shall we clap once and see?
lf one pair of shoes can take us even halfway...
Shundi
Shall l sing once, Baghada?
What's the use? Nothing
The key is outside the prison. Look there
There it is
That's the key. Tied to his waist. Have you seen?
And...
... here is the lock
Now do what you can think of
Shundi! Shundi! Shundi!
March to Shundi!
Why aren't they going?
Why are they laughing?
Well, they are not soldiers, Emperor
-Then what?
The remains of your ancestors?
They have come to meet you.Today is tuesday
Maharaja, they have come from across the seas.
Call the executioner
-The executioner?
The executioner?
Why? Is there no such thing as an Executioner?
Executionerl.
Executioner is there, but...
Shall l sing now?
You will sing now?
-Oh yes I will sing now
The King will sing now
You shall sing with me
You shall
Whoever doesn't...when l say,you start...whoever
doesn't will be beheaded.
Musiçians!
What drug did you make, Barfi?
Please let us go. Is it rightful to imprison poor people
like us?
Really... don't you have even a little bit of mercy?
Can't you see from our condition?
Tragedy... one after another... inflicting pains on our
torrtured souls!
The way Fate derides us!
Dhol, shoes... all gone... and now is it the Princess?
What a Fate! What Destiny!
Beast!. Ghost!. Bird!
Devil! Crow! Cow! Pig! Mole!
He will get us beheaded
Behead?
Princes and nobles
All that are present
Why can't you sing?
Halla is going to w*r
Sing!
Halla is going to w*r!
Halla is going to w*r!
Halla! Halla! Halla! Halla! Halla! Halla! Halla! Halla!
Shundi will be blown away!
Blow Shundi away, you must!
Reducethem to a blob of flesh!
Reduce them to ablob of flesh,you must.
Nowhere to escape, no one
-Nowhere to escape, not even me
Halla is going towar!
-Oh yes! Halla is going to w*r!
To the w*r!. To the w*r!. To the w*r! To the w*r!.
Are you hungry?
Of course. l haven't had anything since last evening.
Uncle, don't you give your prisoners anything to eat?
Turn around,we will just take our meal
Let us first starve to death. Then they will feed us
What a devil!
Barfi
Barfi
There lived a king
-Good! Sing like this, don't scream
There lived a king
Whose sorrows knew no bounds
Weeps the poor king
Whose sorrows knew no bounds
Great! Nice composition!
Where does sorrow come from?
-Do you know where from?
lt's not that
Only the poor suffer from it
Whose house is stuffed with gold
Suffers he too from fear
He is more afraid
He too is not happy
Loses his sleep for fear of dacoits!
Will this sorrow ever go?
What the King thinks
With such a glum face?
Will the King be relieved by
Punishing everyone?
Will this sorrow ever go?
lf the King heard this, he would have let us go
How does this sorrow go?
Being a prisoner in one's own palace
Is quite a trouble
Ask the King to forsake his throne
And roam about in the field instead
Ask the King to forsake his throne
And roam about in the field instead
Peace will reign in his life
Peace,for sure
Freedom!
My...
My freedom won't come?
Sure, King dear. Just fight for one more day, and you'll
be granted freedom.
Get up, little one! Get up! My sweet King!
Who will eat these?
Do you have pet rats here?
l'll teach them a lesson
Are you comfortable, sirs?
So much sympathy you have for the King!
Shut up!
Too much sympathy, is it?
Where will this song come from if l chop your head?
You've been given food. Why didn't you eat?
We're not hungy, Sir
Or is it that you don't like the food?
Not hungry
Oh! Is that so?
Poor dear! But you have to eat this food only.
Why?
Of coursel.
Come
Come
The whole kingdom is feeding on this, and... here
come the two Nawabs!
Pick it up
Come on, pick it up
Sit down
Go, sit down
Have it
Water...to wash my hands...
-What?
Nothing
Remember
You are spared this time
ln the future, if you sing without my permission,that
will be your last song, got it?
''There is still time; shall l send my messenger?''
The two of them went...
But, l can't let go of hope.
Look at him!
What?
Were you hurt?
You're asking what are all this?
This is meat
This is rohu fish
This is the hilsa
Prawns!
This is ''vegatable stuffed with fish''
You want to have?
You can't digest
You are not used to
Okay, come inside. Open the lock,the lock
Come inside, come
There is still a lot left for you.
Eat well, okay? We're leaving then.
CameIs, marçhl.
Camels, march
Halla goes to w*r
We're in deep trouble, Sir. The soldiers are not
listening to me.
Not listening?
-They aren't obeying my orders
No one is even standing up. All squatted on the ground.
Good God!
This was the thing I feared
Shall I tell you one thing, Sir?
-What?
ls it at all necessary to send troops?
-What?
l mean... is the w*r at all necessary?
-Good God! Good God! Good God! Good God!
General, did you lose your mind as a result of my
overfeeding you?
We're going to conquer a kingdom. If troops don't go,
who will? You, me and King?
And Shundi folks will welcome us and say, ''Minister,
please take our county.''
Barfi... Barfi
You are my last ray of hope. Please save us by some
Iast trick
Our soldiers are not willing to go. Please make them
march at any cost.
Please Barfi, please. Or else everything including my
prestige, Shundi..will be lost!
Shundi wiII be reduced to ashes!
General,you may leave. Barfi will come later.
Barfi,the King's drug?
Let's go to Shundi, King!
No
-Why? But yesterday you were talking about going to
Shundi... conquering them...
You'll reduce Shundi to ashes, you said.
-No no!
ln Shundi
My brother lives in Shundi
l remember now
A dacoit...
l won't go to the w*r
-Barfi
l won't go to the w*r. I won't take this drug.
-Barfi

Senseless for three days? Okay,we can finish our work
by then.
Barfi, do your last major task
Your time is up
March to Shundi!
It's therel.
Here take yours!
Watch out with your eyes open
The marching troops of thousands
Watch out with your eyes open
The marching troops of thousands
Hordes and hordes of soldiers
Slashing and smashing of weapons
Slashing and smashing with their weapons
Poor foIksl. Pityl.
Pain one forgets
If gain one gets
Pain one forgets
If gain one gets
Soldiers scare us really
Starved to near death
Near death it is
And yet, each one goes to the w*r
And yet, each one goes to the w*r
O you Halla's troops!
O you Halla's troops!
What will you gain from this w*r
We want to know
What will you gain from this w*r
We want to know
Why lose your lives
Holding these petty weapons?
Why lose your lives
Holding these petty weapons?
Ominous it is
The w*r between countries
What will you gain from this w*r
We want to know
The King shouts and scowls
And the Minister follows suit
The King shouts and scowls
And the Minister follows suit
With people like bunch of bananas
The whole country is a mess
What will you gain from this w*r
We want to know
Come... Come from the sky
Boxes and boxes of sweets
Sweets of every kind,
The best of the best of sweets
Rain sweets from the heaven
Sweets of every kind!
Freedom!
HeyGeneral!
Freedom!. Freedom!
Freedom!. Freedom!
Shundi
We've brought him, the King of Halla
Oh brother,you haven't changed!
That dacoit made me the king, got me drugged by a
magician, and made me do all sorts of things
Like announcing w*r against Shundi?
That's a terrible story!
l could not even think of gettingyou back.
Did l also...
think that I would ever be free?
How many years has it been?
Almost twenty years
Can you ever think, I was coming to conquer your land?
My kingdom? It's also your kingdom.
Can we fixthe deal about the princess?
You said...
