Voice Of A Caged Cub

     To be renowned and popular,

     be strong and deep-pocketed

     I don't long for these things.

     

     I want to be identified and recognized 

     as a citizen of a nation like others; 

     savoring peace, and freedom of life.

     I desire to step in my birthplace, 

     feel its soil between my fingers 

     and hear free birdsong singing. 

     I long for the silence of my village 

     to feel its fresh atmosphere.

     I desire to witness smiles anew

     on the faces of my beloved race

     I long for peace and to return home.

     I no longer want to listen to your words 

     of consolation and can't bear such

     a murderous and defective life.

     I desire to breathe a sigh of relief

     and live a life of peace and harmony.
