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.

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.
