Song for Gaza

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN

(Song for Gaza)

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

NB
--------
Kira-kira seperti ini artinya

*WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)*

*KITA TIDAK AKAN KALAH*

A blinding flash of white light
Sebuah kilasan yang menyilaukan dari cahaya putih

Light up the sky over Gaza tonight
Menerangi langit di atas Gaza malam ini

People running for cover
Orang2 berlarian untuk bersembunyi

Not knowing whether they're dead or alive
Tidak tahu apakah mereka mati atau hidup

They came with their tanks and their planes
Mereka datang dengan tank2 dan pesawat mereka

With ravaging fiery flames
Dengan api yang menyala2 lagi membinasakan

And nothing remains
Dan tidak ada yang tersisa

Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
Hanya suara yang naik ke awan berasap

We will not go down
Kita tidak akan kalah

In the night, without a fight!
Di malam hari, tanpa perlawanan

You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Kalian bisa membakar mesjid2, rumah2, dan sekolah2 kami

But our spirit will never die
Tetapi semangat kami tidak akan pernah mati

We will not go down
Kita tidak akan kalah

In Gaza tonight
Di Gaza malam ini

Women and children alike
Wanita dan anak2 sama saja

Murdered and massacred night after night
Dibunuh dan dibantai malam demi malam

While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Sementara orang2 yang disebut pemimpin2 negara dari jauh
Debated on who's wrong or right Berdebat mengenai siapa yang benar atau salah

But their powerless words were in vain
Tetapi kata2 mereka yang tidak punya kekuatan adalah sia-sia

And the bombs fell down like acid rain
Dan bom2 berjatuhan laksana hujan asam

But through the tears and the blood and the pain
Tetapi melalui air mata, darah, dan rasa sakit

You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
Kalian masih bisa mendengar suara itu melalui awan berasap

We will not go down
Kita tidak akan kalah

In the night, without a fight!
Di malam hari, tanpa perlawanan

You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
Kalian bisa membakar mesjid2, rumah2, dan sekolah2 kami

But our spirit will never die
Tetapi semangat kami tidak akan pernah mati

We will not go down
Kita tidak akan kalah

In Gaza tonight
Di Gaza malam ini
