Singhimama, off with your head!

At Andibose’s shrine I strike you dead!

Ulkut dhulkut dum dum dum

Walnut balnut whack-whack-whack

Crack-crack-crack!

Almost all the words here were borrowed. Only ‘walnut’ was my own. I had a weakness for walnuts. From the word ‘whack’, it will be apparent that my scimitar was made of wood. And ‘crack’ suggests that the scimitar was none too strong.

—Translated by Radha Chakravarty

* In the Bengali calendar this corresponds to the year 1937 of the Gregorian calendar.
