Tha Zwa Le’s Lyric

In the deserted pasture

Of the monkey king

Grow the mixed vegation of ‘Thabyu’ trees

The pig in greed

Muches on the trees.

A trap is laid

The pig is killed

The pasture is raised to the ground

And the crafty monkey

Cut up the piggy

To fill up his belly.

Only then, Oh Rakhine

You live in peace!

The December the Blood-Snow drops down

At the night of the December so cool,

The peoples’ celebrating “Happy New Year”

I whose Freedom and Land have been lost,

Didn’t wish to take part in it;

I didn’t wish to feel happy

Under the word “Happy”.

It’s a really enjoyable one for other people,

Yet not for me, and all Arakanese as well.

For our Grand Parents, Great Grand Parents

And Great Great Grand Parents’ Blood dropping down

Along the Rakhaing Roma Mountain

And in the whole my Father Land, Arakan Kingdom

In this month, cool December.

Ohh! December, December,December!

In this month our Arakanese’s blood

Dropped down onto the Earth together with snow.

Our Arakanese sacrificed their lives;

All our heritages were destroyed by Burmese

In this so cool December.

Despite it’s been for over Two Hundred Years

For losing our Kingdom, our Freedom;

For our Arakanese’s blood falling down;

For Our heritage being destroyed,

I and all Arakanese can’t disappear in their mind

What happened in the past time.

Ohh! December, December, December!

How I (and all Arakanese) can forget

The 31st Day of December!

The Light of Asia, U Ottama

The Light of Asia, U Ottama
......................................


While Myanmar being under the darkness,
He appeared in the western, Arakan Kingdom
To give the ray for the people under the dark.

While the whole Myanmar People being the full of being afraid,
He dare to the "Craddock"
" Hi, Craddock!" “GET OUT!"

While the other leaders being honored,
He is forgotten by the people of Myanmar
To honor him, "the Light of Asia."

While the memorials days of others held inside Myanmar,
The unforgettable day for him isn't allowed inside it
To celebrate the unforgettable day of his demise.

However the times and years pass by,
However they insult your gratitude,
Despite you had already been death,
You are always alive in our Arakaneses' heart.

MUM

Mother’s love is beyond measure, so
We have to pay a gratitude to the benefactor of us, MOM.

Under the shade of Mom’s love,
I wish to live at the end of my life.

Mom, which is being called in our daily lives,
Is only three alphabets; yet
It’s the most auspicious one in this world.

BECAUSE OF LOVE

In spite of not being a golden fish,
Can swim across the ocean to meet you….

In spite of not being a bird,
Can fly to meet you in the sky….

In spite of not being a nightingale,
Can sing a sweet song for you….

In spite of not being a poet,
Can compose a lovely poem for you….

In spite of not being a composer,
Can compose a lovely song for you….

Who?

Kills many monks, and commits

The offence of causing schism in monastic order,
But not Devadattha…

Destroys the Buddha Images,
But not Osamabinladen…

Lives under the ground,
But not King Yama…

Be a leader of genocide,
But not Hitler…

Eats human flesh,
But not Porisada…

Be with horn,
But not an ox…

Beats everyone and everything,
But not a mad dog…
