Welcome to Vedanta Company, the money goes to London, don’t you see?
India is blessed with minerals, longed for by Western liberals
Your village was built on bauxite, poor little peasant it will be alright
Don’t worry, the mine is for the dead, its poison turned the river red
Under the stars at night we shout, with a roar, we fight, what we need is a people’s war
We long for uprising, we’re ready for everything, put your hand to the heart, it tells you what to sing
We long for rebellion, for revolution, victory to the people’s war!
If you long for uprising, than look to the shining: Dandakaranya!
The company knows what is best, be the best producer for the West
So we sell you a policy, a phony one called democracy
So while the army burns your home, we provide a good price for your tomb, but…
One day our land shall be free! To Hell with Vedanta company!
Under the stars at night we shout, with a roar, we fight, what we need is a people’s war
We long for uprising, we’re ready for everything, put your hand to the heart, it tells you what to sing
We long for rebellion, for revolution, victory to the people’s war!
If you long for uprising, than look to the shining: Dandakaranya!
The greatest democracy for sale, start dragging you to a sort of jail
Let’s call it a village secure, a camp for concentration for sure
Your children we’re taking away, that’s for your own protection, so I say!
I’m the boss from Vedanta Company, only work will set you free!
For life and dignity, blow up their machinery, together with the guerrilla storm the enemy
We are the rebellion, we are revolution, for this cause we pay any price
All over the world, comrades in arms sing what is the desire of our heart
We are the rebellion, we are revolution, victory to the People’s war!
If you long for uprising, look to the shining: Dandakaranya!
