Vaada Veda Lyrics {English Meaning} – Narivetta | Jakes Bejoy | Vedan

Pattare Koottare Man Kathone
Pattilum Vakkilum Chora Varthone

Oh soldiers, oh companions, you who are the protector of this land,
You whose songs and words tell of the bl–d that is shed.

Itu Vithi Ennu Karuthi
Chathi Kadu Porukkumo
Dinam Dinam Vedamakanothodumo Ini

Believing this to be fate,
will you tolerate this blatant treachery?
Will you continue to voice your truth every day from now on?

Vaada Veda

Come, hunter; come, sacred word.

Kaattumarathintey Manam Murinje
Kaakkibhoothangal Vanam Niranje
Yanthrathokkukal Manthramothumpol Ammakkili Karanje

The heart of the wild tree is broken;
Khaki-clad phantoms swarmed the forest.
While the machine g#ns chanted their mantras, the mother bird cried.

Vanamakal Oruthey Ninte Maaru Thulanjallo
Manavum Thakarntthu Perunkadu Karanjallo
Malayil Uruvetudkkum Aruvi Ranam Niranju
Arukappul Karanjallo

Oh daughter of the forest, your breast has been violated.
Your spirit shattered, and the great forest wept.
The stream born from the mountain flowed filled with wounds.
Even the common grass wept.

Poonkavanathilo Por Atho,
Kaanan Kothichchorellam Aar
Innu Chathu Neethikkoppam Ner,
Kuruthikk Koottuninnavar Aar

Is this a flower garden, or is it a battlefield?
What became of all who yearned to see this place?
Today they lie d##d; truth and justice stand as solemn witnesses.
Who are the accomplices in this sl–ghter?

Vanakkiliye Marakkilaye
Manithan Aramaraththin Manamillaye

Oh, bird of the forest, perched on the branch,
humankind lacks the spirit of a mighty tree.

Kalaham Kondu Thatti Eduthavarum
Veendum Mathiluketti Keerimurichavarum
Chathi Maranno Maranno Enne Maranno
Ente Chora Charithamee Mannila Linju

Those who seized it all through conflict,
and those who again built walls, tearing and dividing;
Have you forgotten the treachery, have you forgotten, have you forgotten me?
The history written in my bl–d has merged into this very soil.

Oro Chettikkum Oro Uyir
Athil Veerodum Neerinumoru,
Uyir Manithanuyirum Orupolalle

Every small plant has its own life;
the water flowing through its roots also has life.
Isn’t human life just the same?

Naam Marannoru Dinam Svaram Marannoru Dinam
Ini Uyarnneettu Paraake Padarum

There was a day we forgot, a day we lost our voice.
Now, having risen, that voice will spread everywhere.

Vaada Veda

Come, hunter; come, sacred word.

Oro Chettikkum Oro Uyir
Athil Veerodum Neerinumoru Uyir
Manithanuyirum Orupolalle
Ath Puriyaan Iniyum Naal Neellalle

Every small plant has its own life;
the water flowing through its roots also has life.
Isn’t human life just the same?
May it not take many more days for us to understand this.

Oro Kathaykkum Oro Porul
Ninte Neerum Kathaykkumele Irul
Irulu Neengumini Pakallalle
Athil Neethi Sooryano Eriyille

Every story holds a meaning;
yet darkness shrouds your true story.
The darkness will soon lift, for daylight is coming, isn’t it?
And in that light, won’t the sun of justice blaze brightly?

Vanakkiliye Marakkilaye,
Manithan Aramaraththin Manamillaye

Oh, bird of the forest, perched on the branch,
humankind lacks the spirit of a mighty tree.
