ସକାଳୁ ଉଠିଲେ ହାତରେ ଆମର ଝାଡୁ ବାଡ଼ିଟିଏ ଥାଏ,

Sakāḷu uṭhile hātare āmara jhāḍu bāḍiṭie thāe,

Waking up in the morning, a broomstick is in our hands,

ଗାଁ ରୁ ସହର ସଫା କରି କରି ଦିନ ଆମରି ସରିଯାଏ।

Gāṁ ru sahara saphā kari kari dina āmari sarijāe.

Cleaning from village to city, our day passes by.

ପେଟର ବିକଳେ କାମ କରୁଛୁ ମୁଣ୍ଡ ଝାଳ ତୁଣ୍ଡେ ମାରି,

Peṭara bikale kāma karuchu muṇḍa jhāḷa tuṇḍe māri,

We are working due to hunger, sweating profusely,

ହେଲେ ପାଞ୍ଚ ମାସ ହେଲା ଶୁଣୁନାହଁ ଆମେ କରୁଛୁ ଯେତେ ଗୁହାରି।

Hele pāñca māsa helā śuṇunāhaṁ āmē karuchu jete guhāri.

But for five months, you haven't listened to our pleas.

[Chorus - High Energy & Emotional]

ଭତ୍ତା ଦିଅରେ ଦିଅ ମାଡାମ ମାନେ, ଭତ୍ତା ଦିଅରେ ଦିଅ!

Bhattā diare dia māḍāma māne, bhattā diare dia!

Give us our allowance, give us, Madams, give us!

ଭତ୍ତା ଦିଅରେ ଦିଅ ମାଡାମ ମାନେ, ଭତ୍ତା ଦିଅରେ ଦିଅ!

Bhattā diare dia māḍāma māne, bhattā diare dia!

Give us our allowance, give us, Madams, give us!

ପାଞ୍ଚ ମାସ ହେଲାଣି ଦେଇନ ମାଡାମ ମାନେ...

Pāñca māsa helāṇi dein māḍāma māne...

It's been five months, you haven't given, Madams...

ଆମ ହକ୍ ଆମକୁ ଦିଅ !

Āma hakku āmakku dia!

Give us our rights!

ଭତ୍ତା ଦିଅରେ ଦିଅ ମାଡାମ ମାନେ, ଭତ୍ତା ଦିଅରେ ଦିଅ!

Bhattā diare dia māḍāma māne, bhattā diare dia!

Give us our allowance, give us, Madams, give us!

Lines explained

“ପେଟର ବିକଳେ କାମ କରୁଛୁ ମୁଣ୍ଡ ଝାଳ ତୁଣ୍ଡେ ମାରି,”

Peṭara bikale kāma karuchu muṇḍa jhāḷa tuṇḍe māri,

We are working due to hunger, sweating profusely,

The phrase "ମୁଣ୍ଡ ଝାଳ ତୁଣ୍ଡେ ମାରି" (muṇḍa jhāḷa tuṇḍe māri) literally means 'sweat of the head to the mouth', an idiom for working extremely hard to earn a living, often in difficult conditions.

“ହେଲେ ପାଞ୍ଚ ମାସ ହେଲା ଶୁଣୁନାହଁ ଆମେ କରୁଛୁ ଯେତେ ଗୁହାରି।”

Hele pāñca māsa helā śuṇunāhaṁ āmē karuchu jete guhāri.

But for five months, you haven't listened to our pleas.

This line highlights the core grievance: despite their hard work and repeated requests, their pleas for payment have been ignored for an extended period.

“ଆମ ହକ୍ ଆମକୁ ଦିଅ !”

Āma hakku āmakku dia!

Give us our rights!

The word "ହକ୍" (hakku) means 'right' or 'entitlement', emphasizing that they are not asking for charity but for what is rightfully theirs for their labor.
