The Land Belongs to the Children
Vande Mataram, Vande Mataram.
Walk with a sway to the sound
of the waves by the oceanside.
Boy, see the girl, she answers you back
with her bashful eyes.
...and the land, the land belongs to the children,
they are the land and the song that they sing:
Vande Mataram, Vande Mataram.
I have seen God, He sleeps
on the crest of the ocean tide.
I have seen God in a bird
that crosses the countryside.
..and the land, the land belongs to the children,
they are the land and the song that they sing:
Vande Mataram, Vande Mataram.
