The bird song

Under the embers

By Kisama Riyo Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

A voice repeated by the bird

In a tune that lost its strings

Under the sound of rain

I forgot that I am a stone

And the fragments of injustice grew inside me

My homeland is planted under the embers

And the sadness of tears and rain

Light on the tongue, weightless?

His memory is a fire ignited by revenge

My homeland is burning, so how long, O era

Will the siege tighten on us?

And a soul that refuses to stay up at night

My homeland is the collapse of the earth when the fracture intensifies

And a revolutionary runs in the rainy season

He says come and save the cause

Or leave it to the Lord of Fate

Save my homeland, for it is tired of the days of sacrifice

So how long will the enemy continue to betray?

And how long will we see the details of victory?

My homeland's heroes are revolutionaries who carried out the dawn operation

Pray the afternoon prayer with us

And were martyred treacherously at the hands of a deceived occupier?
