Came across this song from 1937 movie, Dunia na mane. The song is the famous Longfellow poem A psalm of life sung by the actress Shanta Apte. Interesting to see a marathi actress of 1937 singing an English song, which proved to be a great hit. https://youtube/watch?v=2wqhfKNMPTs In the world’s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,— act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o’erhead! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.
