DESI FROM GUYANA LYRICS
Verse 1:
My Ancestors came from India
In 1838
They came to British Guiana
As Jahaji or Shipmates
They crossed the Kala Pani
On the Hesperus and Whitby
Bahut Aja, and me Aji
Bahut Nana and Nani, yes
Chorus:
I'm an Desi from Guyana
From the Indian Diaspora
Girmitya aur Batohiya
Mother India & Guyana
I'm an Desi from Guyana
From the Indian Diaspora
Girmitya aur Batohiya
Mother India & Guyana
Verse 2:
240,00 came down to this land
Indian Indentured Servants
Within a 79 year span
Clutching on to their Lotas
And crying for Mother India
With tears in their eyes
And a prayer in their hearts
Salaam Bharat Mata, yes
Chorus:
I'm an Desi from Guyana
From the Indian Diaspora
Girmitya aur Batohiya
Mother India & Guyana
I'm an Desi from Guyana
From the Indian Diaspora
Girmitya aur Batohiya
Mother India & Guyana
Verse 3:
Nutha Khan and Anantram
Were the 1st immigrants to land
Khan in Demerara
Ram became a Berbician
They lived in little Logies
And worked hard in the backdam
From nothing they built a nation
I am proud to be an Indian, yes
Chorus:
I'm an Desi from Guyana
From the Indian Diaspora
Girmitya aur Batohiya
Mother India & Guyana
I'm an Desi from Guyana
From the Indian Diaspora
Girmitya aur Batohiya
Mother India & Guyana
Verse 4:
They incorporated the cultures
Of Africa & India
Hindu, Muslims & Christians
To build a better Guyana
Everyone celebrate Eid Ul Azha
We all fly kites for Easter
Ah bucket ah water, Abeer & Powder
Everybody playing Phagwah, yes
Chorus:
I'm an Desi from Guyana
From the Indian Diaspora
Girmitya aur Batohiya
Mother India & Guyana
I'm an Desi from Guyana
From the Indian Diaspora
Girmitya aur Batohiya
Mother India & Guyana
Verse 5:
Sonny Gajraj
My Aja
He was a true true Indian
He taught Bhajan & Hindi classes
To all the little children
Sitting down on his Peerha
He was a bottom house teacher
Teaching cultural education
From generation to generation, yes
Chorus:
I'm an Indo Caribbean Man
From an Indo Caribbean Land
I love my Indo Caribbean tradition
Me Culture, me Education
I'm an Indo Caribbean Man
From an Indo Caribbean Land
I love my Indo Caribbean tradition, yes
The women & the children
