Kaka’s final offering from the EP Billo Kehndi, “Village Earth,” transcends genre boundaries, delivering a powerful message of unity and environmental consciousness. Translated for a wider audience, the song paints a vivid picture of a world yearning for connection and freedom from political manipulation.
The lyrics unfold like a gentle invitation. Birdsong and blooming flowers fill the protagonist’s home, devoid of artificial barriers. He welcomes the listener, urging them to step beyond societal constructs and experience the simple joys of nature.
However, a stark contrast emerges. Scorching heat, harsh winds, and barren landscapes symbolize the harsh realities of life under the influence of divisive politics. Kaka questions the power structures that pit people against each other, creating “samundar”s of differences where they once swam together.
VILLAGE EARTH SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING
Mere Ghar Vich Chidiya Aun, Phul Titliyan Mehakan Aun,
Birds come to my home. Flowers, jasmine blooms, and butterflies arrive.
Dhup Hava Sukke Patte, Patteyan Te Turrdi Tu Ave,
There is searing heat, harsh wind, and you’re walking on dry leaves.
Tere Bin Je Hor Koi Banda, Mere Ghar De Rah Ave,
If anybody else visits my residence but you.
Main Bande Nu Pusha Bandeya, Edhar Das Tu Kyun Ave,
I would question the individual, “Why are you coming here?”
Jivein Dil Mere Vich Thehri Tu, Aa Dekh Je Ghar Vich Thehar Hundae,
Similar to how you live in my heart, try to see if you can remain in my home with me.
Tu Samundar Tapke Aja, Maithon Na Ae Tair Hundae,
You came over the water; I don’t know how to swim.
Eh Mulk Ne Siyasatdana De, Lokan Da Pind Ja Shehar Hundae,
This is a nation of politicians. People’s village or city.
Lokan Nu Eh Pata Vi Ae, Ke Siyasat De Vich Zehar Hundae,
People also understand that there is poison in politics.
Eh Siyasati Reyasti Raje, Hamesha Faujan De Dam Te Jyonde Rahe,
These political feudal kings relied heavily on their armies.
Ehna Khatir Maran Vale, Lokan Chon Hi Aunde Rahe,
Those who died, according to them, were always members of the community.
Mape Ronde Bashe Ronde, Siyasat Vale Baz Ni Aunde,
Mothers weep, children cry, and politicians will not stop.
Eh Ladvaunde Eh Marvaunde, Kursi Te Behke Mauj Udaunde,
They get them to fight and kill. Politicians adore sitting on chairs.
Tu Ehna Di Gal Mandi Ae, Meri Gal Nu Sun Tan Sahi,
If you believe in their words, listen to mine as well.
Bhulke Tu Sarhadan Nu, Pind Shehar Koi Chun Tan Sahi,
Forget the boundaries and choose any village or city.
Aithe Koi Raja Ni Ae, Ja Sare Hi Raje Ne,
Either there is no king here, or all the kings are present.
Har Mulk Di Taza Khabar Ton, Aithe Phalphul Taze Ne,
Fruits and flowers are fresher here than in any other place.
O Dekh Bina Vardi Ton Aundi, Hasdi Kheddi Fauj Tan Dekh,
Observe the troops arriving without uniforms, laughing and playing.
Ik Vari Mulkan Nu Bhulke, Sham Shehar Di Mauj Tan Dekh,
Forget about nations and enjoy the city’s nighttime activities.
VILLAGE EARTH FULL SONG
The powerful verse: “Eh mulk ne siyasatdana de, lokan da pind ja shehar hundae,” lays bare the core message. This land belongs to the people, not politicians. Lines of power and manipulation shouldn’t divide their villages and cities.
VILLAGE EARTH MUSIC VIDEO
Kaka exposes the poisonous underbelly of political gamesmanship. The “khatir maran vale,” the casualties of senseless conflict, come from within our communities. Yet, those in power remain aloof, indifferent to the tears of mothers and children.
