In this land where gold yields from the soil,
Even after toiling all day long,
We see no better life,
And the working man boils with rage!
Though Mother Earth gives all her riches,
Pouring them out generously by the handfuls,
There is not even half a belly of gruel,
No clothes to wear, and no home to live in.
The family cart,
The family cart,
Goes rolling and rattling along briskly,
The cart goes rolling along!
Coming across its path,
The bumps and hollows try to slow it down,
Coming across its path,
The bumps and hollows try to slow it down,
They try to slow down its speed!
Cruel and ferocious tigers
Destroy the woods,
Tigers destroy the woods;
Cruel and ferocious tigers
Destroy the woods,
While humans with animal nature,
Like beasts, destroy the nation,
Beasts destroy the nation!
The family cart,
The family cart,
Goes rolling and rattling along briskly,
The cart goes rolling along!
Coming across its path,
The bumps and hollows try to slow it down,
Coming across its path,
The bumps and hollows try to slow it down,
They try to slow down its speed!
Swaying rhythmically, our pair of bullocks
Goes ahead with spirit... the pair strides in style,
In them, like a man and a woman,
The beauty of running a household shines through!
Like a deceitful coward hiding his treachery,
Someone lets it move forward, but from behind,
Pulls out the wheel's linchpin!
The family cart,
The family cart,
Goes rolling and rattling along briskly,
The cart goes rolling along!
Coming across its path,
The bumps and hollows try to slow it down,
Coming across its path,
The bumps and hollows try to slow it down,
They try to slow down its speed!
The step you have placed forward,
Never take it back!
Seeing obstacles in your path of progress,
Do not frown or lose heart!
Move together as one, like the vision of two eyes,
And the ups and downs you meet along the way,
Trample them under your feet and move ahead!
The family cart,
The family cart,
Goes rolling and rattling along briskly,
The cart goes rolling along!
Coming across its path,
The bumps and hollows try to slow it down,
Coming across its path,
The bumps and hollows try to slow it down,
They try to slow down its speed!
