This is a teaser of a song from Imphal Talkies' second album. Dedicated to all the children in conflict zones all over the world.
Lyrics:
Blood Soaked streets
That's my ground
That's where i play around
Sound of gunshots
That's my song
That's my lulla- lullaby
Your revolution has snatched away
my right to education
Te te tenouwa
Kangleipakki tenouwa
angang na mullaga
tenouwa na haraoiwi
oooooh ooooooohhhh
Uhdei saba nongmeini
mana pangba makhoini
Blood soaked body
that's my daddy
you just shot him
you just killed him.....................
we dont need urs guns and bombs
we just need songs of love
your constitution has nothing for me
all you do is kill my innocence
Te te tenouwa
Kangleipakki tenouwa
angang na mullaga
tenouwa na haraoiwi
oooooh ooooooohhhh
Uhdei saba nongmeini
mana pangba makhoini
Fallen bodies like
fallen leaves of october
but u dont care
you bomb a town
That's my town
That's where i play around
Dont fill our lives with throes of pain
Share a smile so we can bloom again
