Soldiers of the Soil

We tend the Earth
To feed your mouths
And now you want to
Bring us down?

How will you eat
Without our toil
We are the soldiers
Of the soil

Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad

Wake up, Do you see what's goin' around you?
A brother's dying everyday, flowing is ਕਿਸਾਨ ਖੂਨ (Kisaan khoon)
Blood flows in our homes to pay a debt we can't afford
Is this life worth it? Do something Lord
You all see and think of us as ਚੱਕ ਦੇ ਫੱਟੇ (Chak de phaté)
But you don't know what we go through any given day
The new rules make it seem like it'll all be okay
But our life and livelihood has been taken away

We tend the Earth
To feed your mouths
And now you want to
Bring us down?

How will you eat
Without our toil
We are the soldiers
Of the soil

Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad

We're at your door so go change things back
Fight all you want, we can take all your attacks
Mock us, slander us, we won't take ਬਦਲਾ (Badhla)
We'll be fine cuz we're in ਚੜਦੀ ਕਲਾ (Chardhi kala)
ਸਰਬੱਤ ਦਾ ਭਲਾ that's all we want (Sarbat da bhalla)
Not just the ਭਲਾ of those who vaunt (Bhalla)
Don't act like a dog to your corporate pantheon
Just humble yourself so we can all move on

We tend the Earth
To feed your mouths
And now you want to
Bring us down?

How will you eat
Without our toil
We are the soldiers
Of the soil

Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad

ਦੇਹਿ ਸਿਵਾ ਬਰੁ ਮੋਹਿ ਇਹੈ (Dehe shiva bar mohe hai)
ਸੁਭ ਕਰਮਨ ਤੇ ਕਬਹੂ ਨ ਟਰੋਂ (Shubh karman te kubhoo na turoe) (N)

ਅਸੀ ਹਾਂ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ (We are Punjabi)
ਅਸੀ ਹਾਂ ਕਿਸਾਨ (We are farmers)
ਖੇਤੀ ਸਾਡਾ ਪੇਸ਼ਾ ਨਹੀਂ (Farming is not our profession)
ਸਾਡੀ ਹੈ ਪਹਿਚਾਣ (It is our identity)

ਹੱਕ ਸੱਚ ਦੀ ਲੜਾਈ (The fight for truth and what's ours)
ਪਿਤਾ ਦਸ਼ਮੇਸ਼ ਨੇ ਸਿਖਾਈ (Is taught by Father Dashmesh (Guru Gobind Singh Ji)
ਮੋਰਚੇ ਤੇ ਖੜਾਂਗੇ (We will take a stand at every protest (For truth)
ਮੌਤ ਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਡਰ (Not afraid of death)
ਪਿੱਛੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਟਾਂਗੇ (We won't back down)
ਅਸੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਟਾਂਗੇ (We won't stop)

We will not bow down to corporate greed
We will not bow down to corporate greed

ਨਾ ਮੁਗਲ ਨਾ ਅੰਗਰੇਜ਼ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਰੋਕ ਸਕੇ (Neither Mughals nor the British could stop us)
ਇਹ ਖੋਤਾ ਮੋਦੀ ਕਿਹੜੇ ਖੇਤ ਦੀ ਮੂਲੀ ਹੈ (Who the hell is this donkey Modi?)

Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
Kisaan Ekta Zindabaad
