The Bright Red Star, song
Oh, Shining Red Star,
We are the future for class struggle in this dark night
We can fight with guns made of wood
We will give company to poor and sad people
Our chest is small
The feasts are tightening
Oh, Shining Red Star
We sing the song of hunger
We will fight against injustice
Our hearts are still small
We will finish off the enemy
Oh, Shining Red Star
Beloved Village of Thabang, poem
The beautiful village of Thabang is in the cradle of Jaljala
Let's go and see the new-new things in the village of Thabang
Oh, what beautiful hills with flowers everywhere,
Model School is in Babang
Ajanbarijan Commune is in Rachibang
Industry is running in the village nearby
Gemisang community shop is in the market
Thabang village is so beautiful in everyone's life
The people's stadium is near Balawadra secondary school,
Red Castle is made of blood
Martyr's Park is even more delightful, being near the garden
Is the incomparable sacrifice of thirty-two sons…
The doors to development opened up by building Martyr's Road,
People are all happy, for the Red Power has come.
Fought with the enemy and never bowed down,
We never left the revolutionary thoughts
We are marching forward carrying the flag of protest
And we are requesting everyone to go together
This beautiful village of Thabang is a never-dying place
Come and see Thabang once in a lifetime
Resting Place of Martyrs, poem
This is the part of life
Travelling through the hills and the plains of Tarai
When I reached the resting place of martyrs
The chautari was filled with blood of martyrs,
Who fought against injustice
Fighting they sacrificed their lives
That is why, let's rise against injustice all of us…
Thabang village so charming,
People's Government so beautiful
Nearby fly the souls of thirty-two martyrs, who gave their lives…
