Try not to Cry
You, you’re not aware,
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Don’t show your tears
To your oppressor (penindas)
Don’t show your tears
CHORUS:
Try not to cry little one
You’re not alone
I’ll stand by you
Try not to cry little one
My heart is your stone
I’ll throw with you
Isam:
‘Ayn Jalut where David slew Goliath
This very same place that we be at
Passing through the sands of times
This land’s been the victim of countless crimes
From Crusaders and Mongols
to the present aggression
Then the Franks, now even a crueller oppression
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk on
there's only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say
CHORUS
You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Your nightmares will end
This I promise, I promise
CHORUS
Lenny:
No llores, no pierdas la fe
La sed la calma el que haze
Agua de la arena
Y tu que te levantas con orgullo entre las piedras
Haz hecho mares de este polvo
Don’t cry, don’t lose faith
The one who made water come out of the sand
Is the one who quenches the thirst
And you who rise proud from between the stones
Have made oceans from this dust
Waqas:
I throw stones at my eyes
’cause for way too long they’ve been dry
Plus they see what they shouldn’t from oppressed babies to thighs
I throw stones at my tongue
’cause it should really keep its peace
I throw stones at my feet
’cause they stray and lead to defeat
A couple of big ones at my heart
’cause the thing is freezing cold
But my nafs is still alive
and kicking unstoppable and on a roll
I throw bricks at the devil so I’ll be sure to hit him
But first at the man in the mirror
so I can chase out the venom
Isam:
Hmm, a little boy shot in the head
Just another kid sent out to get some bread
Not the first murder nor the last
Again and again a repetition of the past
Since the very first day same story
Young ones, old ones, some glory
How can it be, has the whole world turned blind?
Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk on
there’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David
chorus

ibu...satu nama penuh cinta......

hari ini tepat 23 tahun ibuku melahirkanku ke dunia ini. semua teman sudah mengucapkan berbagai ucapan ultah...baik lewwat fb maupun sms..tp owwwww.....ibuku.......dia beluim mengucapkan kalimat itu "selamat ulang tahun,nak"
meski di keluarga kami tidak ada ritual seperti itu, bahkan untuk bersikap romantis ke anggota yang lainpun tidak(tp selalu konyol dan penuh canda)...namun di hari yg spesial ini aku ngotot pengen dapet ucapan itu dari ibuku. dengan beragam cara aku berusaha menarik perhatian ibuku.......aku mulai menyetel lagu-lagu ulang tahun dengan cukup keras........
ibu yang sejak tadi sibuk menjahit baju adik tak bergeming sedikitpun........arrrggghhhhh.....bener gak sih nih ibuku,.....mask gak inget ma ultah anaknya sendiri,,....aku mulai kesal......planning A gagal...lanjut to planning B....aku pura2 menelpon seorang kawan...
"hallo....",kataku
"hei say...inget gak ada yg ultah hari nih??",lanjutku
ibuku dengan cueknya melangkah k arah dapur.......
plan b masih gagal...semngat...semangat.....aku harus mengingatkan ibuku kalo skrg aku ultah.....
"hmm...masak apa ma?"
"ini....ikan kering bumbu bali sama sayur kacang ijo", jwabnya
gdubrak....gak ada spesial2nya.....masak ultah maem ikan kering???......
"mank gak masak yg spesial ma??"
"buat apa nak??..biasanya juga suka ikan kering bumbu nih"
iya sih...suka...tp kan..nih hari spesial ma...msaknya juga yg spesial donk...batinku.
doeeeenggg...pupus sudah harapanku untukk dapat special thing from my mom in my special today........
dengan sedikit kesal aku meninggalkan dapur......k arah kamar tidur.tidak perduli pada perut yg mulai keroncongan...kupaksakan untuk tetap tertidur.
Huuuaaahhhh.......jam berapa nh???..batinku
aku mulai menyadari keadaan sekelilingku..tidak ada yang aneh.......
dengan mlas aku kembali merebhkan kepalaku....hmmmm.....bener may gak da yg aneh????.....
sebuah surat berwarna merah jambu tergeletak dengan manis di samping bantalku.....segera kubuka surat itu.......
"may....selamat ulang tahun ya nak....maaf..mama sudah membuat kamu kesal seharian ini....ibu tau kalo kamu ingin ibu ngucapin selamat ulang tahunkan???...di dapur sudah ada kue ultah buatan mama...bagi2 dengan sodaramu yah...mama jualan dulu..."
aku terharu membaca surat ini...bergegas aku ke dapurrrr....namun...
kudapati k3 kakakku sudah mulai memotong kue ultahku sembari berkata
"met ultah adikku sayang........"
mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
