Your task is to translate these lines into their original Hindi format, and tell us which song the lyrics belong to. Piece of cake, right? Then let's get to it!

This edition is our tribute to the motherland country, India, as we celebrate the 68th year of Independence on the 15th August, 2014.

Please Note: It is important to first translate the lines and then name the song in order for your answers to be correct.

First Song

"...the fields of wheat, the verdant town square,

the Orcher climbers, the twisting vines, the rocking swings,

the swaying flowers, the bursting blossom, and lanes of town all ask us.

when will you come back?..."

Second Song

"Do something, with every part of you,

Do something,

Do something, enough of that big talk, now do something,

Take a stand, either swim or die..."

Third Song

"As if you had been showered by life's riches and happiness,

But, you are so far away from home,

Do come back now, you old fool,

To this very place where people will consider you as one of their own..."
