Romeiba

We were the first
We were the first
We will not fade
We will not fade
Bollywood is second born
She fished among the stars one day

They followed us
They followed us
We held the reins
We held the reins
And now they've finally got their head
They keep behind us anyway

We shot the stars
We shot the stars
They followed suit
They followed suit
A little girl in mama's clothes
With red lipstickk and knee high boots

We wrote the words
We wrote the words
They could not read
They could not read
But see them nod their heads just now
In understanding mimicry

We sang the songs
We sang the songs
They made replies
They made replies
But idolatry has never once
Learned to breed or improvise

They followed us
They followed us
We held the reins
We held the reins
And now they've finally got their head
They keep behind us anyway

We were the first
We were the first
We will not fade
We will not fade
Bollywood is second born
She fished among the stars one day
