You endless
symbols of shame for this nation!
Chorus: Symbols of shame!
You who refuse to reform,
ruling class in power!
Chorus: Ruling class in power!
The white flag has turned the color of blood;
human hearts have turned into a battlefield!
An earthquake has now
begun, just look...
You endless
symbols of shame for this nation!
Chorus: Symbols of shame!
You who refuse to reform,
ruling class in power!
Chorus: Ruling class in power!
Ha... ah... ah... ah... (3)
Is there no answer to this question?
Is there no answer to this question?
Will our dark night never see a dawn?
Every day, with our tears
we boil the cooking pot;
why do we erect
a statue for Gandhi here?
From house to house
we plant saplings here,
yet to keep the poor from rising,
we plant explosives!
Where many wither so a few can thrive,
free from these two divided classes,
will the flower of equality ever bloom?
A better time will come, good days will arrive,
light will shine upon the lives of the poor!
You endless
symbols of shame for this nation!
Chorus: Symbols of shame!
You who refuse to reform,
ruling class in power!
Chorus: Ruling class in power!
Ha... ah... ah... ah...
Haa... ah... ah...
Ha... ah... ah... ah...
Haa... ah... ah...
A procession moves along,
while a heart here burns in anguish.
An unbearable blow
has struck the heart;
upon the head of this tender flower,
a thunderbolt has struck!
In this moment, duty
has become our guiding vision;
without shedding a single tear, the heart
has turned to stone!
Mighty Kali with her trident,
Karumari who protects righteousness,
Mighty Kali with her trident,
Karumari who protects righteousness—
is she too an incarnation of the goddess?
The mother will establish justice;
with her third eye, she will kindle a fire everywhere!
You endless
symbols of shame for this nation!
Chorus: Symbols of shame!
You who refuse to reform,
ruling class in power!
Chorus: Ruling class in power!
Ha... ah... ah... ah... (3)
Who is responsible for this death?
Who is responsible for this death?
Tomorrow, society must give an answer!
Workers fighting for their livelihood,
yet within this class are traitors!
Turning into a boiling fire
is every drop of sweat;
the worker holding the red flag
is a sleeping tiger!
Come together, everyone!
Whether we live or fall,
let us fight until the very end!
Is this a workplace or a sacrificial altar?
Is he an employer or a murderer?
You endless
symbols of shame for this nation!
Chorus: Symbols of shame!
You who refuse to reform,
ruling class in power!
Chorus: Ruling class in power!
The white flag has turned the color of blood;
human hearts have turned into a battlefield!
An earthquake has now begun, just look...
