Sing On Oh Indian Poem by Ch J Satyananda Kumar

(The famous song ‘paadavoyi bharateeyuda’ from the Telugu movie ‘Velugu Needalu’ was written by Sri Sri and was rendered by Ghantasala and P. Suseela)

Telugu original:

Paadavoye Bhaarathiyudaa
Aadi paadavoye vijaya geethika
Nede swatantrya dinam veerula tyaga phalam
Nede navodayam Nede Aanandam ‘’ Pada’’
Swatantryam vachhenani sabhale chesi sambarapadagaane saripodoye
Saadhinchinadaaniki samtrupthini pondi ade vijayamanukunte porapaatoye
Aagakoye Bhaarathiyudaa kadali saagavoye pragathi daarulaa ‘’ Aaga”
Aakaasam andukune dharalokavaipu adupuleni nirudyogam inkoka vaipu, avineethi
Bandhu preethi cheekati bazaar alamukunna nee deesam yetu digazaaru
Kaanchavoye neti dusthithi edirinchavoye ee parishtithi ‘’ Kancha’’
Padavi vyamohaalu kulamatha bhedaalu bhaashaa dweshaalu chelarege nedu
prathi manishi mariokadini dochukune vaade, tana soukhyam tana bhaagyam chusukune vade.
swaardhame anardha kaaranam adi champukonute kshemadaayakam
sama samaaja nirmaaname nee dhyeyam sakala janula sowbhaagyame nee lakshyam – 2
Lokaaniki mana bhaaratha desam andinchunu le subha sandesham _ 2


English Translation: .
Oh Indian sing a song
Dance and sing a triumphal song with a bang
To day is our independence day
Fruit of freedom fighters sacrificial sway
Today is a new dawn of jubilation
Today is elation
It is not adequate to rejoice celebrating the hard earned freedom
It is not correct to be content with the triumphs random
Don’t stop oh Indian, go on and march in the paths of progressive fathom
Sky rocketing prices are on one side
Uncontained unemployment on another side
Corruption, nepotism and black-marketing
Are stooping down your nation, where it is heading?
Excogitate today’s pathetic plight
Combat the hitch with a valiant fight
Power hungry political shifts
Caste and religious rifts
Lingual abhorrent parting ways
Are raging rampant these days
Every one exploits his own fellow human
Seeking his own comfort and riches in mad selfish run
Egotism is franticly chaotic
To over come it is blissful and altruistic
To the world should give our India
A gospel to abhor selfish mania!
