In this south-eastern land,
in this earth of red winds,
the poor working folk
still hold tender warmth in their hearts.
For their wounded kin,
by shedding sincere tears,
even in a faded life
there is true meaning and worth.
To nourish their humble lives
and pour life-giving water,
in the north-eastern sky
there gathers a rain cloud.
In this south-eastern land,
in this earth of red winds,
the poor working folk
still hold tender warmth in their hearts.
For their wounded kin,
by shedding sincere tears,
even in a faded life
there is true meaning and worth.
The good name of her birth home
and the customary gifts from her maternal uncle
are a southern girl's
true wealth and comfort.
Even with all the wedding gifts,
if her good name is stained,
they will suffer in silent sorrow,
her own dear kith and kin.
If you look only for faults,
no one in this town is spotless.
Male: A mother hen never stays
angry with her own chick.
Female: There is no brother like you in this entire village.
If the red soil of our land
or the daughter of our household
is seen slipping out of our hands,
tears will surely flow.
If he sees tears
in his little sister's eyes,
an elder brother will even
give up his own pride and self-respect.
To go against our sacred bond,
we do not have the heart or strength.
Female: To partition this deep affection,
no legal land deed exists.
Male: The roots of my heart have softened with emotion;
beat the village drum!
In this south-eastern land,
in this earth of red winds,
the poor working folk
still hold tender warmth in their hearts.
For their wounded kin,
by shedding sincere tears,
even in a faded life
there is true meaning and worth.
Is this world truly an illusion?
Are relationships really a lie?
Does the water running down a stream
not belong to it?
Even if no one speaks
openly of their relation,
between Kunti and Karna,
did a mother-son bond not exist?
Pouring out all my kinship as a sacred gift,
I have surrendered it to you, my sister.
Female: If you walk away without a word, brother,
this sister will turn mute with grief.
Male: I have kept only my breath of life,
and I will gladly give that to you, my sister.
In this south-eastern land,
in this earth of red winds,
the poor working folk
still hold tender warmth in their hearts.
For their wounded kin,
by shedding sincere tears,
even in a faded life
there is true meaning and worth.
In this south-eastern land,
in this earth of red winds,
the poor working folk
still hold tender warmth in their hearts.
For their wounded kin,
by shedding sincere tears,
even in a faded life
there is true meaning and worth.
