Prettily Collapsed country

Broken Hearted Country
Chronically Collapsed Country
Prettily Shocked Country

Golden land but malnourished,
Fully Democracy, not yet established;
Still in hand of Junta
Than Shwe & other hard power-handlers

Nowadays 2008
Still kept in crisis of several kinds for decades
Started our strike in ’88
We are in strike forever for the sake

Several people
Several monks
The Irrawaddy’s innocent farmers and fishermen
They sacrifice their lives then

Blood-stained The Golden Shwedagon last year
Mud mixed with corpses in The Irrawaddy this year
Decomposed dead bodies floating in The Gulf of Ben gala

Land could not be green and bright
People should not be give up and…Fight
The Might, we have to march on our strike.
