Lyrics with Translation

Chorus

Land of the blue hill
Victory to thee
We will arise
Believe in our prayer
Faith in our heart
Unite in our stand
See you my people lemme see you when we get there
Star and rainbow blue flag in the air
God bless my Nagaland vision of my father
Never let it go never let it go
Blue flag in the air
Kuknalim moila Nagalim


Ase ami naga manu AZ Phizo k salam
(I affirm I`m a Naga paying my homage to AZ Phizo)
Thaki ase aji ami umid loina taila naam
(I`m living my life today with confidence in his name)
Nahatibo zimidari bisaribo itu din
(Our responsibilities won`t vanish coz we`ll be searching for that day)
Jivan nijor prabhi morom Urra Uvie kuknalim
(Even more precious than our life, victory to this land of ours)
Price that they paid and vision that was laid
Will never go in vain coz we'll neva be in chain
Bahai dishey khun toh kali fightin' for our right
(Bloods have been sacrificed yesterday fighting for our right)
Nagaland for Christ is our Fatherland our pride
Shikari ekta nishina tayari kuri rakhibo
(Just like a hunter we will always be alert)
Dushmani kiman hoilaybhi moi larai itu jitibo
(No matter the enemy`s size we will still win this fight)
Rainbow in the sky is our covenant with God
Guiding star will lead us to victory and freedom
Napaoribo kitya bhi soldiers of our nation
(We will never forget the soldiers of our nation)
Kasam khaina rakhibo mangibo nijor pratana
(Will keep the promise and seek with prayers)
Hodai mun tey bisas para kuribo moi aro khara
(Keeping the faith in our heart we will stand affirm)
Naga manu laga awaz Ura Uvie kuknalim
(Naga peoples call is victory to this land of ours)

Chorus

Take a resolution on a mission for a struggle
One nation for solution liberation is our hustle
Mili kena sob bhi kobi budli yete anilobo
(In unison say it together we will bring the change)
Himat para khara hobo awaz ekta uthabo
(Standing up with courage raise up your voice)
Rise up my countrymen I'll see you when we get there
Common future, destiny rely upon our unity
Sapna narukhabi itya milina banabi Rasta
(Stop shunning dreams and work on building the path together)
Kuribi nijor he parai nishana sida
(Do what you can by keeping a straight target)
Mangia nahoi hissa ase itu moikhan adikar
(Not asking for shares this really is our right)
Kurilobo bondubost dikdari hodai jabo par
(We will conclude it by overcoming the hurdles)
Tamasha toh chari kena anilobi hosa khota
(Leaving aside the absurdity pave way for the truth)
Manilobi haqiqat toh nalagay moi sona
(Accep the reality we don`t need no gold)
Chandi aro poisa para kinibo napai
(Silver and money will never be able to buy)
Nijor izzat aro aukat nabikabi kokai bhai
(Your self esteem and respect don’t sell it my brothers)
Jabo aibi agay moikhan mili kena eki logote
(Lets surge forward together alongside in unity)
Bisas para himat para Ura Uvie kuknalim
(With courage and belief victory to this land of ours)

Chorus

Khara hobi naga manu modop baji kuribi
(Wake up my Naga people and lend a shoulder for one another)
Andera jaga najai kena sida sidi thakibi
(Stop following the passage of darkness but live a straightforward life)
Represent your roots man seek for the truth
Embrace on the legacy and carry on for good
Kati dibi enmity bisaribi bujibi
(Eliminate the enmity, look about and understand)
Born as a warrior division is your enemy
Revolution is your duty inqilab hain mera kranti
(Revolution is your duty uprising is my rebellion)
Blinded by the paper money MI, K and U
(Blinded by the paper money Am I Kidding you/Also a reference to IM, K & U)
Baited by the hate invaded and dictated
Christianity all in vain rise up awake
All I see is blood on brother victimized on disunity
Nijor bitor mara mari jihoilaybhi charidibi
(Abandon the infighting in between your own brethen)
Martin have a dream brotherhood and unity
Everybody's free should be treated equally
Bisaribi identity steady on yo grind
(Search for your identity steady on your grind)
On behalf of my community spittin' righteous rhyme
