Welcoming you all to the Round 2 of Republic Rhythms: Aazadi Quest Season 2, named Lost in Translation: Mile Sur Mera Tumhara. The idea behind Mile Sur Mera Tumhara is unity : of meaning and melody, thought and tune. Only those who truly know the songs will be able to bring the translated meaning back to its original verse.

Please read and understand the rules carefully before sending your answers.

In this round, familiar songs of the nation have been lost in translation. You will be given English translations of a few lines of a particular song in each question. There will be 12 questions in total. Your task is to decode the translation, identify the original song, and pinpoint the exact original lines it refers to.

Each question will contain a translated version of a song line.

This is your game and your game alone.

Discussing clues, answers or interpretations with other participants is strictly prohibited while the round is live. Any participant found sharing or receiving help will be disqualified to ensure fairness for everyone.

The translations provided are your only clues. No additional hints are hidden elsewhere.

Participants are allowed to ask for up to 2 extra hints in total (either for two different questions or both for one question). Each extra hint will cost 2 points. Hints must be asked to me via PM.

Each correct answer will award you a total of +12 points (if you identify the correct lyrics of a translation, you will get +10 points for that, and if you identify the correct song too, you will get +2 points, this gives a total of +12 points).

Each incorrect or unanswered question will give you negative marking i.e.– 4 points.

Any queries regarding this round must be asked in this thread by tagging me. Queries about specific questions, however, will not be entertained beyond the extra clue option.

You have to submit your answers in the via PM to Quantum-Dot before the deadline, with the subject line:

Deadline for submission of answers is January 29, 11 PM IST.

Below are the questions for Round 2!

Q1) Some warm-hearted girl, some carefree soul,

Has written me a letter, asking about me.

Someone’s breath, someone’s heartbeat,

Someone’s bangles, someone’s bracelets.

Q2) A night awakened by gentle, silvery moon-glow,

Where blossoming trees stand radiant, their leaves glimmering in the light.

Q3) I will not let even a trace of sorrow touch you.

My life is devoted to you, may you always remain happy.

Q4) Now we must keep moving forward.

Now, my companion, this is all we have to say.

Q5) Remember them as well,

Those who never returned home.

O people of my homeland.

Q6) Temples are here, mosques are here,

Hindus are here, Muslims are here.

Let us live together in love … awaken.

Q7) You are the lion of India, march ahead.

Never be afraid of death.

Strike down the enemy’s head,

And keep raising the spirit of the nation.

Q8) The desire for sacrifice now lives in our hearts.

We shall see how much strength remains in the executioner’s arm.

Q9) O my beloved land,

Your love flows through every vein of mine.

Q10) The lone traveler will keep walking his own path.

Whatever happens now, will be faced when it comes.

Q11) Wherever I went, it was only your memory with me.

It stayed beside me, troubling me, bringing me to tears.

Q12) There are many seasons for living on,

But the moment to give one’s life does not come every day.

Tagging all the participants here in this post, PM will be sent to you later.

Wish you all the very best and good luck!

just a doubt in this rule… “Each incorrect or unanswered question will give you negative marking i.e.– 4 points”

I get it about negative marking for incorrect but why negative marks for “unanswered”.

Aise toh total points negative mei bhi jaa sakta hai

Oh nice round simi

All the best everyone

Interesting hai

Beyond that play well all of u
