The sun is rising in Dandakaranya, the eyes of the trees see a people so proud
The sun is shining and rivers run free. Praise the people of Dandakaranya!
The heart of India covered in darkness, soulless soldiers villages burn
For nothing but money so turns this world, guns to our heads but we are not dead
”No stay!” Adivasis say, the Indian army must run away
A future worth fighting for deep in the forest of Dandakaranya
We sing our songs to the sound of drums from the forest of Dandakaranya
We cry for our dead and we know what to do. We feast, raise your glass!
Salute the People’s War that shines out of Dandakaranya!
The sun gives the day, the poor write the law in the forests of Dandakaranya
Smash the plans, their wicked designs to starve Dandakaranya
The shadow of evil blocks the sun over the hills and valleys
The enemy flees when the people fight, even though blood was spilt
That turns the river red, our flag is flying in Dandakaranya
Resistance never dies, it multiplies, a forest of people descends on Delhi
Darkness and shadows fade away with light from Dandakaranya
We sing our songs to the sound of drums from the forest of Dandakaranya
We cry for our dead and we know what to do. We feast, raise your glass!
Salute the People’s War that shines out of Dandakaranya!
