Reclaiming Nature from Mizoram Context - Rebecca Lalhmangaihzuali

Posted on: 2007-09-07 16:34:11 After passing the hot and humid plains of Assam, you will enter a completely different scenario, the exotic hills of Mizoram (1). You will be welcomed by long winding roads, surrounded by the green forest of bamboo, ironwood, teak and other small trees and shrubs, and a cool moderate climate. And the deeper you go the scenic greenery of the landscape will marvel you. Oh, what a glorious place it is! The empty space is the envy of people in other states, and the sight of jhum cultivation is spectacularly breathtaking. When you breathe the fresh pollution free Mizo air, you’d smell heaven!

SCM SONGS

 

1. SCM Solidarity Song

The Song we sing not for ourselves
For those who are oppressed and chained,
Build up a new society;
Lets share and feel with them.

 

Come SCM’S unite be one,
Pull out injustice from this world
Live with people, build together,
One day we’ll reach a new just world.

 

The way we work not for ourselves
For those who are oppressed and poor,
Suffer with them and let us know;
That our struggle will win.

 

The life we owe not for ourselves,
Women and Men work hand in hand
The unity will triumph
We share the vision and hope.

 

 

2. By the rivers of Babylon

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

(When the wicked)
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lords song in a strange land

(When the wicked)
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lords song in a strange land

Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered zion.

4. Pal Pal Beetha Jaaye Re

Pal Pal Beetha Jaaye Re
Samai to beetha jaaye re

Masam aaye mosam jaaye
Bahate samai kee dhara
Bag me chaaye hasti kaliyaN
Mahak utNe jag sara
Chotti gali ki badboo naali ho…
Sadtha jaaye re…

Shaharkee sadke chowedee ho gayee
Chowk me khila phuhara
Chamak uthi hai unchi mahale
Jaanath sa ujiara
Mehnath kash ke gali gaon me ho…
Andhera chaye re…

Vyarth ho gayee
Bhagavath geetha
Bible kee mridu bhasha
Gandhi Namnk Soor Kabir kee
Bhikar chuki hai aasha
Swarth ke manav ko kyo ye ho…
Yad na aaye re.

 

 

5. Hundred Miles

If you miss the train I'm on,
You will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord,

I'm three, Lord, I'm four, Lord,
I'm five hundred miles a way from home.
Away from home, away from home,
Away from home, away from home,
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home

 

Not a shirt on my back,
Not a penny to my name.
Lord, I can't go back home this-a way.
This-a way, this-a way,
This-a way, this-a way,
Lord, I can't go back home this-a way.

(Repeat first stanza)

 

6. O Elika ravaali nee paalanam

O Elika ravaali nee paalanam,
Ma jeevitham marpu chandalini ma prarthana

Viplavam Vinootham Chaitanya swaroopam,
Vignanule KanooGyam nee rajya paalanam
Shanthi subhikshallu neethi sahavaasaalu
Deepthi pradeeptulu nee paalana chinnalu

Anadiga vasthunna anaikyathalu povali
Aagalido nuuna vaaru thrupthiga jeevinchali
Nee paalana raavali bhuvidiviga maarali
Nee paalida prajalantha nee roopam pondali.

10. Kneel at the feet of his friends

Kneel at the feet of his friends,

Silently washes their feet,

Master who acts as a slave, to them

 

Jesu, Jesu

Fill us with your love,

Show us how to serve

The neighbours we have

From you

 

Neighbours are rich folk and poor,

Neighbours are black, brown and white

Neighbours are nearby and far away

 

These are the ones we should love

These are the ones we should love

All these are neighbours to us and you.

 

Loving puts us on our knees

Serving as though we are slaves

This is the way we should live with you

 

Kneel at the feet of our friend

Silently washing their feet

This is the way we should live with you

 

 

10. Oh freedom, Oh freedom Oh freedom

Oh freedom, Oh freedom Oh freedom,

Over me, over me
And before I’ll be a slave
I’ll be buried in my grave
And go home to my people and be free

No segregation…
No subjugation…
No more weeping…
Oh justice…

 

 

11. Make me a channel of your peace

Make me a channel of your peace

Where there’s hatred, let me bring your love

Where there is injury, you pardon Lord

And where there is doubt, true faith in You!

 

O master Grant that I may never seek

So much to be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand

To be loved as to love with all my soul

 

Make me a channel of your peace

Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope

Where’s there’s darkness, Lord, your shining light

And where there’s sadness ever joy!

 

Make me a channel of your peace

It’s in pardoning that we are pardoned

In giving to al men that we receive

And in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

 

 

12. We shall overcome

We shall overcome (2)

We shall overcome someday

Oh deep in my heart, I do believe

We shall overcome someday

 

We’ll walk hand in hand…

 

The truth shall set us free…

 

We are not afraid today…

 

We shall live in peace…

 

 

13. Saranam, Saranam, Saranam

Saranam, Saranam, Saranam

Jesus, Saviour Lord, lo to thee I fly

Saranam, Saranam, Saranam

Thou the rock the refuge that’s higher than I

Saranam, Saranam, Saranam

 

In the midst of foes I cry to thee

From the ends of earth wherever I may be

My strength in helplessness O answer me

Saranam, Saranam, Saranam

 

In thy tent give me a dwelling place

And beneath thy wings may I find sheltering grace

O lift on me the sunshine of thy face

Saranam, Saranam, Saranam

 

O that I may vows to thee may pay

And that by thy faithfulness to me each day

May live and on thy love my burdens lay

Saranam, Saranam, Saranam

 

 

14. Bind Us Together Lord

         Bind us together Lord
Bind us together 
With cords that cannot be broken
Bind us together Lord
Bind us together Lord
Bind us together with love
 
There is only one God
There is only one King
There is only one Body
That is why we can sing
 
Made for the glory of God
Purchased by His precious Son
Born with the right to be clean
For Jesus the victory has won

You are the family of God
You are the promise divine
You are God's chosen desire
You are the glorious new wine
