The Labourer's Bamboo Basket is Full of Sand Groove
This song is about the 10 year civil war in Nepal and how progress made inevitably because of the war regressed back into the conservative society that caused the war in the first place.
Here are the translations to the lyrics :
There’s a load of money in the capitalist’s account
It’s a year’s worth of profit
A year’s profit and a year’s wages
Weighs differently for the wage labourer
Hammering away to make construction aggregates
It’s impossible to save a rupee
Loads full of sand for the laborer to haul
Duped into the middleman’s web
The load is of debt, the interest rate kills
The load is of debt, and of the interest rate
Money is the weapon of the capitalist
Buying off leaders of the revolution
Breaking unions being scared of rebellion
Bribing with the nectar of Coca-cola
Suppressing us economically
Police kicks the martyr’s dream
America murders the fighter
The state is maintained upon exploitation and suppression
Hands of the revolution
