Ekla Cholo Re - Walk On Alone
This is not a word-to-word translation but a translation that attempts to capture the essence of the song. If nobody responds to your frantic calls, proceed to walk alone. Walk alone, march alone - you, alone, complete the journey.

If nobody responds to your frantic calls, proceed to walk alone. Walk alone, march alone - you, alone, complete the journey. If you have no one to speak to, if they all turned their backs on you—no matter how deprived you might feel—keep striding forward. Open your heart, articulate every emotion aloud, as you alone reinvigorate yourself.
If they abandon you, if they desert you when you tread the most treacherous path—despite how ill-fated you might feel you are—keep striding ahead, trudging past each thorn under your blood-soaked feet, as you alone reach the destination.
In case no one holds a lamp in the dark, turbulent, and thunderous night; in case they all slam their door on you - let your burning resolve shine so bright that you alone light up the night.
