Chorus :Koovungal saevalgalae
Crow, oh roosters!
You with the red crests!
Crow, oh roosters!
You with the red crests!
In this land of Bharat,
The sun has never risen over the slums.
To capture and bring forth a new sun,
For these hands to find that strength,
Crow, oh roosters!
Chorus: Crow, oh roosters!
While the wetlands and drylands flourish,
The poor who worked them never truly lived.
Wandering between the landlord's porch and the fields,
They have nothing left even for oil for their hair.
While the wetlands and drylands flourish,
The poor who worked them never truly lived.
Wandering between the landlord's porch and the fields,
They have nothing left even for oil for their hair.
For the worker who survives by his sweat,
The debts he took and the interests he paid
Multiply twofold every single day.
The debts he took and the interests he paid
Multiply twofold every single day.
From now on,
For his dignity to survive,
And for dawn to break in the sky,
Crow, oh roosters!
You with the red crests!
In this land of Bharat,
The sun has never risen over the slums.
To capture and bring forth a new sun,
For these hands to find that strength,
Crow, oh roosters!
Chorus: Crow, oh roosters!
"Knock and it shall open"—
We do not need such philosophy.
"Strike hard and it will burst open"—
There is nothing wrong with those words.
"Knock and it shall open"—
We do not need such philosophy.
"Strike hard and it will burst open"—
There is nothing wrong with those words.
Come, let us break the barriers and floodgates!
How much good advice did we give?
Yet we only took blows from those who heard us!
Good advice...
How much of it did we give?
Yet we only took blows from those who heard us!
We have risen!
To accomplish a noble deed,
And for a new time to dawn,
Crow, oh roosters!
You with the red crests!
In this land of Bharat,
The sun has never risen over the slums.
To capture and bring forth a new sun,
For these hands to find that strength,
Crow, oh roosters!
Chorus: Crow, oh roosters!
