( A GLORIOUS HISTORY OF 1988's UPRISING – STUDENTS’S DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT
CAMPAIGNS )
(Blood...Blood...Blood...)
Bloodshed...Bloodshed..
On the streets, platforms and paths...
Near the circular, water fountain...
Near the Ponna-yake fences...
Blood..............Blood......
Bullet shells were around the paths
Around the campus....
Students were falling down
Students were hiding
Students were running
Students were wounded
G-hall-thu were weeping...
Teachers came out to help
They were tearfully and kindly
Crying .................
And then..........................
Crying..................
Swe Taw leaves are wavering in breeze
Singing ....and Singing....
.............. in a very sad melody............
Ponna-Yake bushes are in frenzy
Shocking and shocking.............
shaking and shaking.............
Tear gas bombs were around the campus
Butchers troops Lone Htains were
waiting and waiting............
watching and watching...........
near the White brick wall
near the entrance
Arr Zar Ni students are making Demonstration
They are shouting and shouting
Demanding Student Union's rights
Demanding Freedom of Student Movements
Demanding Political Reforms
Demanding Social Justice
Demanding Regime changes
Demanding with out any weapons
They have no more tears
They have no more fears
They exploded up the feelings.........
Heroes of students are born again.....
One after one.............
They decided to sacrifice their lives.....
But, they don't have any weapon....
To get the justice and freedoms
To get freedom....
To get their freedom of media....
To get their freedom of education......
To found their freedom of student union....
To practice a Democratic Government...
They sacrificed their lives
Their education and family life...
They are not Robots...
They have living hearts...
They are innocent human beings.....
Their spirits are so high...
Their spirits are so bright...
As a blade of a knife....
With their wisdom...
With their spirits of freedoms.....
To change a country...
To Democracy ways...
To bring down a dictatorship Government...
To born again ....
Heroes of Burma
To rebirth again.............
Heroes of Burma
Sacrificed for the country
