PALLA SONG SUMMARY
Dance, brothers, and let us sing.
We have found Liberty sweet:
Dance brothers and let us sing.
No more shall we call the Brahman Lord:
No more shall we call the white man master.
No more shall we bow to those that live by begging.
No more shall we toil as slaves
For those that deceive us,
Liberty, wherever we go
They speak of Liberty
We are all equal, this has been made clear.
Blow the conch, sound Victory,
The day of equality has come,
The end of falsehood and deceit has arrived.
There is no noble birth but goodness.
The evil-minded can no more flourish.
The tillers of the soil, and labour
Shall be glorified.
The idle we shall treat with disregard.
Shall we exhaust our limbs
Watering the waste for nothing?
No, we shall no longer toil for the idlers.
This land we live in is ours:
We have learnt this now,
belongs to us by right:
We know it now.
We shall be slaves to none on this earth,
Our servitude is but to the Almighty.
