ဒီသီခ်င္း ကို က်ေနာ္ မိတ္ေဆြ တစ္ေယာက္ကေရးထာတာပါ ခံစားၾကည့္က်ပါ

Green and Red

Was it yesterday?
The summer of 88
For a brief taste of Freedom
and a glimmering ray of Hope
What a heavy price we paid

Was it yesterday?

December seventy four
In the name of Dignity
We claimed the coffin of Mr Clean
And our first encounter with SLORC

I see green and I see red

Oh! Mr. Gambari
Can you hear me!
My brothers are lying dead

To the west, India –

the world’s largest Democracy
Hand and glove with generals
Or is the largest Hypocrisy?

To the east Big Brother, China

Readying for their Olympics
They had Tiannemen Square,
while we had our bitter share
and probably the same Bullets

It happened yesterday

But what about tomorrow?
Will the generals give you another finger?
As we continue our sorrow?

US of A – the world’s greatest Democracy

With not enough oil to make you move
How many more lives do we have to lose?
Are you rather - the greatest Hypocrisy?

I see green and I see red

Oh! Mr. Gambari
Can you hear me!
My brothers are lying dead
Saffron robes soaked in Blood
The world sees yet, another day
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Memories won’t fade away

We want an affirmation

To define our destination
A place with freedom from fear
If not right now or not tomorrow
God willing, maybe….next year

I see green and I see red

Oh! Mr. Gambari
Please hear our calling,
My brothers are lying dead
