Haonao - Featherheads Haokui Official MV

Haonao is a song from the "Haonao EP" which is a follow up to the 'Ihao Thot' single by Featherheads Haokui which was released in 2018. The song revolves around the theme of the call for a cultural awakening among the Naga comtemporaries. It seeks to remind the listeners about what the true essence of being a Tangkhul Naga is. This connection is made through the lyrics on how the Tangkhul Nagas of yore lived in perfect harmony and peace with mother nature but how our generation today have polluted the very environment that survives us.
The issue is which the whirlwind of modernisation has left so many youth lost in the deluge of various addictions is also addressed in the song. Haonao calls all the listeners to once live firm, truthful and strong which was at the core of every Tangkhul Naga community of the past. It pleads the listeners not to fall away from one's culture but to seek one's origin and strive to root oneself again in the rich and proud culture of the Tangkhul ancestors.
Haonao: Lyrics
Chuimeida khaleiya leiret chili
Vashung khavai hotnãsa ithum
Akhama kaho chi matheilui mana

English Translation:
Haonao(Nature's Child)- Subtitles
Let us strive for a life that is worthy of greatness
Now is the time to act for nobody is promised tomorrow,
Let us work to accomplish excellence today
Oh hey ho...
May you be prosperous in all walks of life
That whatever you do and wherever you are,
You become a blessing to people around you
What has made you so timid oh young people?
Let us reclaim what it is to be a true Haonao
To be strong in body and in mind, like our ancestors were
It is time to be unyielding and courageous again
Oh haonao, My haonao
Let us learn to live by honouring our traditions
Whatever we sow, we shall reap,
Let us learn to live a life that is worthy of greatness
So that we become the catalyst of change wherever we are
There is a reason for everything under the heavens
Remember the importance of our culture, our roots from where we stem.
Let us strive to live a life worthy of greatness
Following the footprints of our ancestors who showed us the way
Oh hey ho
