A National song by Bharathiyar.
Cursing the exiting Bharat.
Gilli piditha nenchenai po po po
Vetru veru bhazhaigal karpai nee veetu vartahi karkilai po po po ,
Jaadi nooru solvai po po po ,
dharmam ondrum atrilai po po po ,
Needhi nooru solvai ,kasonndru neetinaal ,vannanguvai po po po
Meaning: Terror stricken heart go go go,
Instead of learning native languages and lore you are learning foreign language go go go,
You speak of castes in hundreds go go go ,
You will invoke hundreds of laws but will bow down to outstretched palm with cash go go go
Welcoming the new Bharat.
Illaya Bharathinai va va va ,
Yedhirilla valathinai va va va ,
Olliyizhundha nattinele nindrerum udaya gnayirru oppave va va va ,
Yerru pol nadaiyinnai va va va
Khallai izhuindha naatile mun polave khallaisirraka vandhanai va va va
Meaning.
Young bharat come come come,
Un rivalled prosperity come, come come,
Like a rising sun dispelling darkness daily do away with the gloom that has descended upon the country , come come come
Striding with the confidence of a bull,come come come,
Restorers of lost glory of Bharat come come come
This song was written by this fiery poet burning with national fervour in early 20 th cent[1882-1921] but wasnt alive to see unshackling of india from foreign yoke or the reform movments . It has stood the test of time as is the nature of the concept called Time ,that of being cyclic .
