The stars of the land (nelataralara)

The stars of the land (nelataralara)

Have you gone up to the sky- The stars of the land?
Becoming the stars of dawn would you show the path?

Whose kids are you? On the forehead of motherland
With your heart’s blood marked a dot and left
The ripe crop too lashes about a lot
Reaching mothers udders a lamb too denies milk
The streams you crossed rolled over and cried
Let the killers be dead how can they do this?

When was it you all had the food from your mother’s hands
When was it you all heard your father’s words?
Brothers my brothers
Have you forgotten your siblings?
Where might be your Younger and elder sisters now?
A stir would have moved in your mother’s belly
She might be upset in sleep
What omen your father would have faced
As a fall of lightening in his heart

Where have you had your birth, growth and where did you die now?
The motherland as a real mother had taken you in her lap
Can’t you open your eyes and call at once mom
Writing a fate of lighting the pyre of sons have you gone?

Would you be the jasmines of my backyard?
Or be the white pigeons coming to us
Brothers my brothers
Would you be the plants in the line of plough?
Or the grains of rice in the plate to eat
We will name our babies on you
To call them with love

on Sankranti festival In the rangoli of the premises
We will see your laugh
a cold breeze in the morning
when creeps on to the cheeks
, my brothers, we feel you wiped the tears
When the sunsets in the hills and valleys.
With a hoisted flag, it looks as if you come in front of us
