Did You Hear The Rumble

by Mathew Joseph

/

about

This bilingual song is a narrative of two current scenarios in tandem. The chorus in English is a call to action against the scourge of gun violence in the U.S. The verses and bridge in Malayalam refer to rampant corruption and the political power play.

lyrics

Chenda porathu kolu veene
Ellarum va, odi odi va
Mazghavillin attathu swarna kodam mone
Ellarum va, odi odi va...

Did you hear the rumble
sound of the distant drum
Did you hear the rumble
tell me where its coming from
Did you hear the rumble
Sound of the machine gun
Did you hear the rumble

Naatu kare odi vaye
Ellarum va, odi odi va,
Nethakan maru kattondu poye
Ellarum va, odi odi va

Did you hear the rumble
Never Again, No No Never Again
Did you hear the rumble
No more thoughts and prayers Amen
Did you hear the rumble
Come on, Come on, Come now children
Did you hear the rumble

Moshtichu mungunnu, mungunnu, mungunnu, mungunnu, mungunnu mungunnu
Kara keri, kara keri, kara keri, kara keri, kara keri, kara keri odunnu
Moshtichu mungunnu, mungunnu, mungunnu, mungunnu, mungunnu mungunnu
Padi keri padi keri padi keri padi keri padi keri aakasham thodunnu

Chenda porathu kolu veene
Ellarum va, odi odi va
Mazghavillin attathu swarna kodam mone
Ellarum va, odi odi va...

Did you hear the rumble
sound of the distant drum
Did you hear the rumble
tell me where its coming from
Did you hear the rumble
Sound of the machine gun
Did you hear the rumble
