Hey, ey, ey, ey...
Hey, ey, ey, ey...
A birth, a birth!
The new birth of a storm!
Anything that opposes it,
its raging dance will bring down!
Until you dare to step forward,
your moment will never come.
If you take the leap with courage,
all your doubts will turn to dust.
A birth, a birth!
The new birth of a storm!
Anything that opposes it,
its raging dance will bring down!
Until you dare to step forward,
your moment will never come.
If you take the leap with courage,
all your doubts will turn to dust.
A birth, a birth!
Ho... oho... ho... o...
Ho... oho... ho... o...
Do not freeze, do not turn back and walk away.
Even when beaten down, do not lose your pride...
Do not freeze... ey... ey... aa... aa...
Do not give up, do not step aside.
When you step aside, do not forget one thing:
The sower's eyes may close in rest,
but underground, seeds only sleep before they rise!
A birth, a birth!
The new birth of a storm!
Anything that opposes it,
its raging dance will bring down!
Until you dare to step forward,
your moment will never come.
If you take the leap with courage,
all your doubts will turn to dust.
A birth, a birth!
The new birth of a storm!
A birth, a birth!
Both eyes may be soaked in tears,
but the awakened heart carries a fire within!
Both eyes... mmm... aa... ey...
The ocean waves may crawl gently along the shore,
but if they surge in fury, they will swallow the world!
A gathering of clouds carries the rain,
and hidden within that rain lies thunder!
Both eyes may be soaked in tears,
but the awakened heart carries a fire within!
The ocean waves may crawl gently along the shore,
but if they surge in fury, they will swallow the world!
A birth, a birth!
The new birth of a storm!
Anything that opposes it,
its raging dance will bring down!
A birth, a birth!
The new birth of a storm!
A birth, a birth!
Ho... oho... ho... o...
A birth, a birth!
The new birth of a fire!
Burning down everything,
its dance will destroy all in its way!
Beware, do not touch it thinking it is small!
If it roars and rises, the enemy is finished!
A birth, a birth!
The new birth of a fire!
Burning down everything,
its dance will destroy all in its way!
Beware, do not touch it thinking it is small!
If it roars and rises, the enemy is finished!
A birth, a birth!

Trivia

Goli Soda (2014), directed by cinematographer-director Vijay Milton, follows four orphaned boys working in the Koyambedu market who fight to regain their identity and pride. The song 'Jananam Jananam', composed by Sn Arunagiri, acts as a high-octane motivational theme that marks the turning point of the film when the boys decide to fight back.
