ACHEH NEED TO BE SHELTED part 2

S.O.S ( ACHEH NEED TO BE SHELTED ) PART TWO

Langit Memerah

Menggelegar pusara para Syuhada

Rumput ilalang mengkelebat, Isyaratkan kegunduhan.

Sebersit harapan yang masih tersisa lewat gemericik anak sungai Krueng Tuan

Membawa berita keresahan anak Alam, yang sepi perhatian

Sentuhan kasih Sayang hanya taring- taring harimau yang meliurkan keserakahan.

Lewat kuku- kukunya mengalirkan darah segar kebuasan.


Cukup!!!

Cukuplah kami menjadi tumbal

Karena kami takkan pernah bisa menjadi kuda tunggangan dan Sapi perah

Cukup!!!

Cukup lah sudah

Biarkan kami tetap menjadi daun

Daun yang tatap menghijau

Selamanya……

english version:

S.O.S (Aceh Need to be Shelted) Part Two

The sky reddens

Thundering the cemetery of Syuhadas*

The grass flashes for a moment, signalling a depression

A burst of hope which is left over by the water sound of Krueng Tuan River branch

Brings news of the restlessness of the Nature’s son, who has less attention

A touch of love is just the canine teeth of tiger which offers greediness

Through their claws it give fresh blood of wildnees

Enough !!!

It is enough for us to be the victims

Because we can never be the horse to ride or the cow to squeeze

Enough !!!

It is enough

Let us still to be a leaf

The leaf which keeps green

Forever,………
