The poet wanted to sing about the achievements and progress made by the countrymen. He asks his mother (motherland) if she wished to hear about the dams and lakes, about steel mills or of the atomic age the mother asks him to sing songs about ‘strikes’ and about the leaders who emerged after such ‘strikes’ (revolutions).
So the poet asks her in a querulous (complaining) voice if there were no songs which he could sing for her that he could sing wholeheartedly, a song that is pure and which will remain in memory for a long time.
