The Translation-

Decade after decade                                                                           We, whose flesh has been cruelly cut down to the bone,                                                           By the opressing enemy 

In the year of nineteen hundred fifty-nine,                                                     The patriotic people of Tibet,                                                          Desperate and without choice,                                                          Rose up for the sake of truth  

Rise up, rise up, all Tibetans!                                                     People of the world, rise up and support us,                                Bear witness to the truth.

The protector of the land of Tibet,                                                       The great refuge giver, the all-seeing precious jewel                       Is the leader of all Tibetans in Tibet and in exile 

The blood-covered hands of my enemy butcher,                       Red China, we will drive you out of Tibet,                                    Rise up, all patriotic people.



Description-

The above song is a song that is sung during the Tibetan Uprising day on 10th March every year. The song was originated from the cruel actions of People Liberation Army of China towards Tibetans in 10th March 1959 where thousands of innocent Tibetans were bombarded to death in the capital city of Lhasa.

The lyrics of "Mimang Langlu" convey themes of resistance, patriotism, and the longing for freedom. The song is often sung by Tibetans during protests and demonstrations as a symbol of their struggle for independence and human rights

Hence to pay homage to all those sacrifices made that day, the song was made to remind us of the countless deaths and to fuel patriotism towards our motherland.


2)ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL PART 2 - PINK FLOYD


https://youtu.be/HrxX9TBj2zY?si=FUEnXKxh9Y5vWQW1




Lyrics: 


We don't need no education

We don't need no thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teacher, leave them kids alone

Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone

All in all, it's just another brick in the wall

All in all, you're just another brick in the wall

We don't need no education

We don't need no thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers, leave them kids alone

Hey, teacher, leave us kids alone

All in all, you're just another brick in the wall

All in all, you're just another brick in the wall

If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?

You! Yes, you behind the bike stands

Stand still, laddy!


Description:

Another Brick in the Wall" is a three-part composition on Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera The Wall, written by bassist Roger Waters. "Part 2", a protest song against corporal punishment and rigid and abusive schooling, features a children's choir. At the suggestion of producer Bob Ezrin, Pink Floyd added elements of disco.It’s a pretty glaring critic of the education system, but Waters explained that it wasn’t so much of a blanket statement on education itself, but rather a statement to inspire a sense of individuality. 


“Obviously, I care deeply about education. I just wanted to encourage anyone who marches to a different drum to push back against those who try to control their minds rather than to retreat behind emotional walls


Opinion: In my opinion the song speaks about the cruelty faced by the students from their teachers and the oppression of the education system on the students. This song by  Pink floyd speaks about his experience which he faced in his school by his teacher's and the school which eventually lead to his isolation from the world . So as stated by Pink floyd in a dark humor's way the methods of teaching should be changed and the teacher's should treat students with more polite manner instead of being harsh. So in conclusion I would state that the authorities and the staff should be more gentle and polite in their approach rather than being abusive and harsh on students.


3)Fuck Tha Police

Song by N.W.A

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxaSqKelRro)



Lyrics

Right about now NWA court is in full effect

Judge Dre presiding in the case of NWA versus the police department.

Prosecuting attourneys are MC Ren, Ice Cube and Eazy motherfuckin' E

Order, order, order, Ice Cube take the motherfuckin' stand

Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth

And nothin' but the truth so help your black ass?

You goddamn right

Well, won't you tell everybody what the fuck you gotta say?

Fuck the police comin' straight from the underground

A Young nigga got it bad 'cause I'm brown

And not the other color so police think

They have the authority to kill a minority

Fuck that shit, 'cause I ain't the one

For a punk motherfucker with a badge and a gun

To be beatin' on, and thrown in jail

We can go toe-to-toe in the middle of a cell

Fuckin with me 'cause I'm a teenager

With a little bit of gold and a pager

Searchin' my car, lookin' for the product

Thinkin' every nigga is sellin' narcotics

You'd rather see me in the pen

Than me and Lorenzo rollin' in the Benzo

Beat a police outta shape

And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape

To tape off the scene of the slaughter

Still getting swole off bread and water

I don't know if they fags or what

Search a nigga down and grabbin' his nuts

And on the other hand, without a gun, they can't get none

But don't let it be a black and a white one

'Cause they'll slam ya down to the street top

Black police showin' out for the white cop

Ice Cube will swarm

On any motherfucker in a blue uniform

Just 'cause I'm from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me

A young nigga on a warpath

And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath

Of cops, dyin' in L.A.

Yo Dre, I got somethin' to say

Fuck the police, fuck-, fuck-

Fuck the police, fuck-, fuck-

Fuck the police, fuck the-, fuck the-

Fuck the police (Example of scene one)

Pull your goddamn ass over right now

Aw shit, now what the fuck you pullin' me over for?

'Cause I feel like it

Just sit your ass on the curb and shut the fuck up

Man, fuck this shit

Alright, smart-ass, I'm taking your black ass to jail

MC Ren, will you please give your testimony

To the jury about this fucked up incident

Fuck the police and Ren said it with authority

Because the niggas on the street is a majority

A gang, is with whoever I'm steppin'

And the motherfuckin' weapon is kept in

A stash spot, for the so-called law

Wishin' Ren was a nigga that they never saw

Lights start flashin' behind me

But they're scared of a nigga so they mace me to blind me

But that shit don't work, I just laugh

Because it gives 'em a hint not to step in my path

For police, I'm sayin', "Fuck you, punk"

Readin' my rights and shit, it's all junk

Pullin' out a silly club, so you stand

With a fake-ass badge and a gun in your hand

But take off the gun so you can see what's up

And we'll go at it, punk, I'ma fuck you up

Make ya think I'm a kick your ass

But drop your gat, and Ren's gonna blast

I'm sneaky as fuck when it comes to crime

But I'm a smoke 'em now, and not next time

Smoke any motherfucker that sweats me

Or any asshole that threatens me

I'm a sniper with a hell of a scope

Takin' out a cop or two, they can't cope with me

The motherfuckin' villian that's mad

With potential to get bad as fuck

So I'm a turn it around

Put in my clip, yo, and this is the sound

Yeah, somethin' like that, but it all depends on the size of the gat

Takin' out a police would make my day

But a nigga like Ren don't give a fuck to say

Fuck the police, fuck-, fuck-

Fuck the police, fuck-, fuck-

Fuck the police, fuck the-, fuck the-

Fuck the police

Yeah, man, what you need?

Police, open now (Aww, shit)

We have a warrant for Eazy-E's arrest

Get down and put your hands right where I can see 'em!

Man, what the fuck did I do? Man, what did I do?

Just shut the fuck up and get your motherfucking ass on the floor!

But I didn't do shit

Man, just shut the fuck up!

Eazy-E, won't you step up to the stand

And tell the jury how you feel about this bullshit?

I'm tired of the motherfuckin' jackin'

Sweatin' my gang while I'm chillin' in the shack, and

Shining the light in my face, and for what?

Maybe it's because I kick so much butt

I kick ass, or maybe 'cause I blast

On a stupid ass nigga when I'm playin' with the trigger

Of any Uzi or an AK

'Cause the police always got somethin' stupid to say

They put up my picture with silence

'Cause my identity by itself causes violence

The E with the criminal behavior

Yeah, I'm a gangster, but still, I got flavor

Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?

A sucka in a uniform waitin' to get shot

By me, or another nigga.

And with a gat, it don't matter if he's smarter or bigger

(Size don't mean shit, he's from the old school, fool)

And as you all know, E's here to rule

Whenever I'm rollin', keep lookin in the mirror

And ears on cue, yo, so I can hear a

Dumb motherfucker with a gun

And if I'm rollin' off the eight, he'll be the one

That I take out, and then get away

While I'm drivin off laughin'

This is what I'll say

Fuck the police, fuck-, fuck-

Fuck the police, fuck-

Fuck the police, fuck-, fuck-

Fuck the police (The verdict)

The jury has found you guilty of being a redneck

Whitebread, chicken shit motherfucker

Wait, that's a lie, that's a goddamn lie

Get him out of here (I want justice)

Get him the fuck out my face (I want justice)

Out, right now

Fuck you, you black motherfuckers

Fuck the police

Fuck the police

Fuck the police


Description-

"Fuck tha Police" parodies court proceedings, inverting them by presenting Dr. Dre as a judge hearing a prosecution of the police department. Three members of the group, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and Eazy-E, take the stand to "testify" before the judge as prosecutors. Through the lyrics, the rappers criticize the local police force. Two interludes present re-enactments of stereotypical racial profiling and police brutality.

At the end, the jury finds the police department guilty of being a "redneck, white-bread, chicken-shit motherfucker."[6] A police officer, who is revealed to be the defendant, contests that the arguments presented were all lies and starts to demand justice as Dr. Dre orders him out of the courtroom, prompting the police officer to yell obscenities as he is led out.


4)“Mujhe Dushman Ke Baccho Ko Parhana Hai” written  by Major Imran sung by Azaan

https://youtu.be/h0Hy3CKpY4s?si=H36e5jw0sF58xt2p

Lyrics-

Qalam Ki Jo Jaga Thi Who Waheen Hai

Par Us Ka Naam Tak Baqi Nahin Hai

Qalam Ki Nok Peh Nukta Hai Koi

Jo Such Ho Who Bhala Rukta Hai Koi

Who Jis Bachpan Nay Thora Or Jeena Tha

Who Jis Ny Man Tumhara Khawab Chena tha


Mujhe Maa Us Se Badla Lene Jana Hai

Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai

Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai


Mujhe Maa Us Se Badla Lene Jana Hai

Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai


Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai



Wo Kis Ko Soch Kay Soti Nahin Maan

Kitabein Dekh Kay Roti Rahi Maan

Hai Kis Ki Wapsi Ki Raah Taktay?

Ye Darwaza Baba Khula Kiyun Rakhtay?


Wo Jo Sari Hi Nazron Se Gira Tha

Na Tha Insaan Na Jis Ka Khuda Tha..



Mujhe Maa Us Se Badla Lene Jana Hai

Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai

Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai


Mujhe Maa Us Se Badla Lene Jana Hai

Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai


Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai



Jo Darr Ke Samnay Hasta Gaya Hai

Jo Apna Chhor Ke Basta Gaya Hai

Keh Ik Aisi Kahani Likh Gaya Who

Kitabon Mein Nishani Rakh Gaya Who

Jo Maan Ko Choomnay Wala Lahu Tha

Who Jis Nay Khwaab Ko Bhi Khoon Kiya Tha


Mujhe Maa Us Se Badla Lene Jana Hai

Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai

Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai


Mujhe Maa Us Se Badla Lene Jana Hai

Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko Parhana Hai


Mujhe Dushman Ke Bachon Ko [Repeat x 4]


Translation (From Hindi to English)

The place of the pen is the same

But his (enemy’s) name is no more

There’s a spot on the tip of the pen

Can the truth ever be stopped?

The childhood that had to last a little longer

That one who snatched mothers dream

I have to go and seek revenge from him

I have to teach the enemy’s children

That thought that keeps you awake

Mother who kept crying looking at the books

For whose return does

Father keep this door open?

The one who fell in everybody’s eyes

The inhuman Godless person

I have to go seek revenge from him

I have to teach the enemy’s children

The one that left smiling in front of fear

The one who has gone

Leaving behind his schoolbag

A strange story he wrote before leaving

He left a sign in the books

The one who left a kissable forehead in blood

The one who killed the dreams

I have to go seek revenge from him

I have to educate the children of the enemy.
