Poonam's Vande Mataram was just superb..👏 i was rooted to the spot when i heard her rendition..! It was just amazing..! Having said that.. i didnt understand the song.. What did the sanskrit part mean..?

I got the lyrics but cant understand a single word of it..

LATA: vande maataram
CHORUS: vande maataram (8)
(repeat)
LATA: maa.. maa
sujalam suphalam malayaja sheetalam
shasyashyamalam maataram, vande
sujalam suphalam malayaja sheetalam
shasyashyaamalam maataram, vande maataram !!
CHORUS: vande maataram (8)
LATA: maa

LATA:
shubhra jyotsna pulakitayaaminim
phulla kusumita drumadalashobhinim
aaa
CHORUS:
shubhra jyotsna pulakitayaaminim
phulla kusumita drumadalashobhinim
LATA:
suhaasinim sumadhurabhaashhinim
sukhadaam varadaam maataram
CHORUS: vande maataram (8)

LATA:
(sapta koti kantha kalakalaninaada karale
nisapta koti bhujaidhruta karakarvale) 2
abalakeno maa eto bale
bahubaladhaarinim namaami tarinim
ripudalavarinim maataram, vande maataram !!
CHORUS: vande maataram (8)

LATA:
tvam hi durga dashapraharanadhaarini
kamala kamaladala vihaarini
vaani vidyaadaayini, namaami tvam
namaami kamalam amalam atulam

Meena..
heres the Translation

i got it from wikipedia.. 😉

Mother, I salute thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Green fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.

Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I bow.

Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands
When swords flash out in seventy million hands
And seventy million voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call Mother and Lord!
Thou who saves, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foe drove
Back from plain and sea
And shook herself free.

Thou art wisdom, thou art law,
Thou art heart, our soul, our breath
Though art love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nerves the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.

Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her
swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned,
And the Muse a hundred-toned,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother lend thine ear,
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleems,
Dark of hue O candid-fair

In thy soul, with jewelled hair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Loveliest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I bow to thee,
Mother great and free!

Vande Mataram means Saluting motherland and not bowing down. In olden times Vande Mataram was a slogan all patriots used when they opposed the British.
