Can't stop listening to this one song. It goes something like this-
কারার ঐ লৌহকপাট ভেঙে ফেল কর রে লোপাট রক্ত-জমাট শিকল পূজার পাষাণ-বেদী
ওরে ও তরুণ ঈশান বাজা তোর প্রলয় বিষাণ ধ্বংস নিশান উড়ুক প্রাচীর প্রাচীর ভেদি Rough Translation:
Those iron bars of prison Break them down, strike them out Bloodied chains, the stone-alter to worship Oh you! The youths! Blow out your horns of doom Let the flag of carnage soar, through wall to wall
To you. To the people of my country. To every single person who's out there now, fighting against an unjust system. You bleed and you ache, yet you do not kneel. You run through the streets and scream for justice. You pick up your sticks and stones and stand against guns and bullets. You do not cower, you do not fear. It's extraordinary. It's extraordinary what you do. It's extraordinary the courage you possess, the bravery, the spirit. I am proud. I am proud that I speak the tongue you do. I am proud that I have shared the same soil as yours. I am proud. I see it on the news. Everyday. More dead. More injured. More arrested. I see it again the next day. And the day after that. And I am shocked, I am speechless, I am filled with utter pride and respect because I know you will not stop. You will not stop until every drop of blood is paid for, every last corpse answered for. How arrantly foolish our Government is. How witless do you have to be to not learn your lesson? They think violence is the solution for everything. They think if they can just drop a couple bodies, spill a little blood, send a few behind the bars, it'll all calm down. That we're just a couple of defenseless kids. And that does work. Fear is great. Fear will pump through your blood and incapacitate you. You can use fear to break an entire nation. But only for so long. Fear is great. But rage is greater. 1952, 1969, 1971.
History testifies.
Justice will prevail.
