Male: For the working people, times will change from now on, my friend!
On our worn-out bodies, the wounds will finally heal!
A good time has dawned!
Our people have stood tall!
A woman came to question them, and our fear has cleared away!
What the poor have said can now be spoken in the open!
The days when a few lived well by cheating the whole village are gone!
Raise the joyful cry, clap for the Kummi dance!
Young women, come along!
An educated woman who knows the ways of the world
Has arrived in our village—come along!
Raise the joyful cry, clap for the Kummi dance!
Young women, come along!
An educated woman who knows the ways of the world
Has arrived in our village—come along!
There was no fence to protect our native people,
All that remained here was the thali (sacred marriage thread)!

The noble woman who has arrived in our village,
Like goddess Bhadrakali, she will protect us safely from now on!

Like goddess Bhadrakali, she will protect us safely from now on!
We wept and rolled in plowed fields, yet dawn never broke for us!
The hands calloused and tired from hard work will rule the world tomorrow!

The hands calloused and tired from hard work will rule the world tomorrow!
What we have suffered through the ages is enough!
Shedding our sweat on another man's land is enough!

Shedding our sweat on another man's land is enough!
The word this lady speaks will be our command!
We must listen to her and unite—our hardships will end!
The word this lady speaks will be our command!
We must listen to her and unite—our hardships will end!
The simmering anger gathering within us
Will smash the ancient doors open!
When the fire of the young burns, a brand-new light will shine!
The simmering anger gathering within us
Will smash the ancient doors open!
When the fire of the young burns, a brand-new light will shine!
