After Enjoying the Movie together

 

Years of hunger

And our longing

All were satisfied

On that very day.

Wow! How good it was!

Don't need to ask each other's opinion

Super goodness shown in the eyes,

Super goodness shown in the smiles.

Oh, yes,

We're satisfied

As we came back

After enjoying Su Su Nway movie.

 

There're hamlets and villages,

Small towns and large towns,

Skyscrapers, too

All of us

Without a blink but with full intent

Enjoyed it to the very end.

 

Like their

'Erin Bronkovich'

Our Su Su Nway movie, too,

Is an excellent movie,

Dare and courageous, but humble one.

Can challenge to theirs,

See the ending scene.

The judge who read out the verdict

Showed her hands trembling

Indifferent Su Su Nway was

Like the heap of flowers on her head. 

Dare, calm, and thumb upping.

Lo!, even the red seemed pale today

In front of her bravery.

 

Merging Ayeyerwady with Thanlwin

And with several streams

Making echoing sound of flowing

As if applauding her

And Yoma ranges, too, were

Applauding by

Rumbling sound of forests. 

 

Each and every episode,

Our martyrs’ve sacrificed their lives.

Spartacus and his slave soldiers,

William Wallace and his Scottish soldiers

All were joining us

Applauding sound overwhelm.

And to such applauding sound,

We didn't need to tell each other to listen,

The ears in our breasts hear them.

Oh, yes!

We could our thumbs up,

Raise our heads,

And boast to our hearts' content,

As we came back

After enjoying Su Su Nway movie.

(Original Burmese poem Watching Su Su Nway Movie, by Aung Ko Thett)
