Zeitgeistlyrik: HEY, MR: MODI (Satis Shroff)

HEY, MR. MODI (Satis Shroff)

Hey, Mr. Modi,

You drive me crazy,

With your bloody blockade.

In this game-we call it bagh chal,

The tiger loses and the goats win.

The cake is cut into seven pieces,

You hope to get a piece,

But there’s no peace – keep your fingers away,

From this Himalayan cake.

You already have Ladakh, Sikkim and Bhutan,

The phalanx of China is yours now,

Nepal is not your enclave.

It’s not Goa, not Pondicherry,

Mon Cher, PM Modi.

Refrain: Hey! Hey! Mr. Modi – bum bholay

Tameywa mata sabita tamewa

Tamewa vidhyam tamewa saranam

I know not what it means – that I am so sad,

This is the slaughter of kindred and friends,

Not in Kuruschetra – but in the foothills of Nepal.

The Hindu-card is useless in India & in Nepal.

We have to live in peace, despite the differences.

India and Nepal must be secular.

Let us live in peace, amid diversity,

For you are not Rudra of the Vedas.

Refrain: Hey! Hey! Mr. Modi – bum bholay

Tameywa mata sabita tamewa

Tamewa vidhyam tamewa saranam

Don’t you have a heart?

Why can’t you find a solution?

Why can’t you admit you made a mistake?

Nobody’s perfect, Mr. Modi.

The BJP will not forgive you,

But the people of the Himalayas will.

Rajiv blundered with Trade & Transit,

He made a fool of himself in Ravana’s land.

And Modi? Diplomatic incapability.

Does Mr. Modi have an opinion of his own?

Refrain: Hey! Hey! Mr. Modi – bum bholay

Tameywa mata sabita tamewa

Tamewa vidhyam tamewa saranam

Mr. Modi – where are you going?

You’ll never find your peace,

Neither in this world, nor in the next.

Ram-rajya is a thing of the past,

There’s globalization in Bangalore.

Are you the incarnation of Kal Bhairava?

You bring the darkness, like in the Rig Veda—not light.

Coldness, not warmth

Refrain: Hey! Hey! Mr. Modi – bum bholay

Tameywa mata sabita tamewa

Tamewa vidhyam tamewa saranam

Mr.Modi how many Nepali children

Have you starved today?

When the light goes out,

You’ll repent and bribe the Gods,

But that won’t help.

Unless you make amends – right now.

Not all the vedic mantras & hymns you recite

Mornings, noon and night – have enlightened you.

Refrain: Hey! Hey! Mr. Modi – bum bholay

Tameywa mata sabita tamewa

Tamewa vidhyam tamewa saranam
