1st antara:

kaalmoktha banchenani ongi thogaala,

kaaradavi thalliki putta nattero, putta nattero

julmi ke pairon mein kuchla raha haan

shaakhon se toota tu patta nahin wo, patta nahin wo

staying trampled under the feet of the cruel oppressor

you are not like that leaf fallen from a branch

julumu gaddeku talanu vanchi thogaala

thudumu talli peguna peragaanattero, peragaanattero

julmi ki chaukhat ko ghar jo kaha haan

phir ye janam tera sachha nahin ho, sachha nahin ho

if you call the door of the cruelty as your home

then this birth of yours is meaningless/false

2nd antara:

sarmaamolise debbaku abbantogaalaa,

silike rakthamo soosi sediri thogaalaa

chaabuk chala lo ye sau-sau dafa haan

ye khoon baaghi hai ye kab daraa haan

you can whip this body a hundred times or more

the revolutionary blood knows not to get scared

gubulesi kanneeru oliki thogaala

bhuthalli sanubaalu thaagaa nattero, thaagaa nattero

ik bhi jo aankhon se aansoo gira na

maati se toota ye dhaaga wahin ho, dhaaga wahin ho

if even one tear drops from these eyes

the thread/connection with mother earth snaps right there.

3rd antara:

kaaluvai paare nee gunde nethuru....(2)

nelamma nuduti bottaithundi soodu

amma kaallaa paaraanaithundi soodu

thalli pedavula navvai merisindi soodu

nadiya sa behta wo dil ka tu lohu (2)

dharti maa sunti vo sargam hai lohu

maathe ka hai maa ke chandan ye lohu

dil ke parbat dhwaj lehraata ye lohu

flows like a river, it’s the blood of your heart

music (sargam) to the mother earth’s ears, it’s the blood (of your heart)

like a sandalwood paste on the forehead of mother earth, it’s the blood (of your heart)

like a victory flag atop the mountain of heart, it’s the blood.

(*lahu and lohu both are used in hindi poetry as words for blood. i have used lohu here to rhyme better with nethuru/soodu etc. if we switch it to lahu, the singer will have to make a bit of an effort to fit the meter. but that can also be done.)

kumorum bheemudo, kumorum bheemudo

pudami talli ki janamaa aranaamisthiviro

komuram bheemudo komuram bheemudo

maati mein mil ke hi jeena hai tujh ko

o komuram bheema, o komuram bheema

the only way to live is by sacrificing yourself to the earth
