A Tribute: to all who laid their lives for our country


This is a rough  English translation of this beautiful song, I found it in the Internet, I don't think it does justice to the emotion of this song...


O! the people of my motherland! Raise all the slogans you desire, This is a great day for us all, Hoist your beloved tricolor, But don't forget on the border, The brave did lose their lives, And remember each great soldier, Who did not return home ever, O! the people of my motherland! Shed a few tears, For those who martyred on ice, Remember their great sacrifice! When injured was the Himalayan might, Our freedom was in jeopardy, Till their last breath did they fight, And then laid their dead body, Resting their head on the soil, Sacrificed and slept immortal, For those who martyred on ice, Remember their great sacrifice! When the country celebrated Diwali, They played the bloody game of Holi, When we were sitting safe at our homes, They dealt with deadly bullets and bombs. Blessed they were those soldiers, Blessed were their youths, For those who martyred on ice, Remember their great sacrifice! Some Sikh, some Jaat and Maratha, Some were Gurkha or Madrasi, But each soldier who died on the border, Was a brave Hindustani. The blood that stained the mountain, That blood was that of an Indian, For those who martyred on ice, Remember their great sacrifice! With blood their body was drenched, Yet they lifted their rifle and aimed, One killed tens of the enemy, Then fell down unconsciously. When the final moment came on, They said they will die now, Be happy! O beloved of the nation, We embark on eternal journey now, How great were those patriots, How great was their pride, For those who martyred on ice, Remember their great sacrifice! Don't you ever forget their glory, So I narrate this noble story, For those who martyred on ice, Remember their great sacrifice! Victory to India!, Victory to her army! Victory to India! Victory to India! Victory to India!


Happy Independence Day to All Indians!!!

    the feelings these patriotic songs evoke is beyond words. have you listened to the new version of extended jana gana mana by times of india?

    Thanks everybody.
    I know whenever we hear these powerful patriotic songs, we get goose bumps, it automatically takes us to another world.
    Asha:
    Actually I love the song Sare Jahan Se Acha Hindustan Hamraa, but they don't have full version of the song in the video version anywhere, and also when they change the tune which we are used to listening from childhood, I somehow can't relate to them, that is why I chose this song.
    I will definitely listen to the extended version of Jana Gana Mana too.
