I have come a very long way
Give me a smile?
I am tired of crying
I miss happy times
I miss my mother’s hug
Talk to me … for just a second?
I am new in your land
Hold my hand
Show me the way
I have lots to learn
I have lots to teach my people
Let’s help each other
Bring peace and smiles on faces
I have come a long way
To start my new life
Please talk to me …

I want to fly where birds sing their nicest songs,
where I can hear waterfowl, where it is green all the time,
where flowers smile and butterflies speak.

It was a timeless autumn, the day the sky darkened.
|
|
Soon, the people learned a monster had come to occupy the land!
|
Children forgot to smile.
But violence cannot stay forever:
The monster left the land and died. Clouds scattered. The people could see the sun shining again.
Sky becomes blue, land gets green.

If I were not a woman
the day I was born
Mom wouldn’t have suffered.
Dad wouldn’t have warned
her: You’ve brought shame
to the house!
|
If I were not a woman
I would never be a hurt,
never be ashamed.

Every day is a good day for me.
I love nature and its beauty,
and I love all people.
I hate war,
I hate conflicts
all around the world.
From the bottom of my heart
I want peace.
I want peace with all human beings
I want to respect each other
and make every day
a lucky day to live
for today
and the next generation.
When that time comes
life will be golden.

Never be sad
Unhappy
Tired of your life
Always try
and try
and try
Life has ups and downs
Everyone knows it
Be happy
Work hard
And see the results
come clear
Enjoy your life
Life is short
Life is good
Life is sweet
It is very sweet

No One…
 No one knows how it feels to be so sad
No one knows how it hurts to live so alone
To walk on a dark path
No one sees when your heart is broken
No one cares if you have pain
When your dreams are taken
No one takes your hand when you are fallen
No one knows how you are
exhausted of living
or listens if you cry, “the world is selfish!”
No one loves a mad girl
No one wants a sad girl
No one cares if the cruelty doesn’t finish

The sound of cocks wakes me up
The sun shines fresh.
Before washing my face
I water the plants
Then
I go say good morning to the cows
And milk them.
I make the tea
I take my dirty clothes
To wash.
After that I relax
On the ground under the pear tree
And nap.
There is nothing new.
Tomorrow it is the same.
