Perjuangan Mu ... Perjuangan Ku / Your Struggle … My Struggle

[ENGLISH TRANSLATION BELOW]

Saudara ku dalam perjuangan … Kau mengharungi detik … titik titik kehidupan Suka dan duka … pahit dan manis Berdansa di pinggir erti

Kau meniti garis nan sepi Diburu budaya songsang Kecundang lah sebilangan pahlawan Namun, tidak mudah berpatah arah … Tidak pula berpaling tadah

Gigih bertahan meski pun bangun melutut, menyiku, membahu dan mendagu Demi menegak secebis maruah dan seteguk cinta kasih

Saudara ku dalam perjuangan Kental kan lah jiwa mu itu Lumpuhkan lah pola penindasan Yang memuntah kan kemiskinan, penderitaan dan menghancur kan perpaduan

Maka, genggam lah bara di tangan menjadi obor kebebasan Kerana jalan ini tetap satu

Meski pun begitu, harapan ini … kekecewaan ini Menimbul kan igauan dan beban terkilan pada veteran lama Ataupun subur mekar … tunas tunas kebangkitan rakyat Di sebalik tabir tabir kegelapan

English translation

My comrade in the struggle … You wade through the moments … the dots of life, joy and sorrow … bitter and sweet. Dancing on the edge of meaning

You walk a line of loneliness, hunted by a perverse culture. Some warriors have fallen. Yet it is not easy to turn back … nor to turn traitor.

Hold on with tenacity, even as you rise on your knees, with your elbows, with your shoulders and with your chin, to raise a shred of dignity and a sip of love and compassion.

My comrade in the struggle, steel your soul. Cripple the pattern of oppression that spews out poverty, suffering and destroys unity.

So clasp the embers in your hand and make them a torch of freedom, for this path is the only one.

Even so, this hope … this disappointment stirs up haunting memories and a burden of regret among the old veterans, or perhaps blooms richly … the shoots of the people’s awakening behind the curtains of darkness.
