Male: Hey, courage that never falters!
A steadfast sacrifice!
For our language, we too stand!
Chorus: Jhaan jara jhaan jara jhaan jara
Dhillele!
Spreading wings to soar forward,
Make a tune and sing along naturally,
All eight directions will unite because of you!
Dhillele!
All our blood has boiled hot, my friend!
The crowd roars just hearing the name!
The nation will stand victorious because of us!
Singing free like a skylark,
Celebrating life,
Oh language, you are our radiant light!
Like burning snow and towering mountains!
As comrades come together,
Understanding the struggle of the working class,
Dance with your head held high!
Hey, yesterday's wounds
Didn't just fade into the wind!
Look at the silver moon!
Hey king, sing dhillele!
With eyes as lovely as roses,
Clapping hands in rhythm, dhillele!
A green parrot, a garland of pearls,
Traditional floor patterns, dhillele!
With eyes blazing like fire torches,
When they step forward to fight!
Thanne nanne thanne nanne

Chorus: Jhaan jara jhaan jara jhaan jara
Every town is our home, and fire is beside us!
Joined hands are our strength!
Anything is possible from now on!
Hey, if we just stay at home,
Who will stand up for the nation?
Charge in with full force!
Hey, there's no town that hasn't talked about it,
There's no person who hasn't seen it!
Come on, comrade, let's begin right now!
Hey, celebrate, celebrate!
Celebrating is our culture!
If anyone comes to tear us apart,
Step forward and challenge them!
Press on and move forward!
Our ancestors told us so,
Their good words guide us!
Thanne nanne thanne nanne
