[English]

There are children standing here

Arms outstretched into the sky

Tears drying on their face

He has been here

Brothers lie in shallow graves

Fathers lost without a trace

A nation blind to their disgrace

Since he's been here

And I see no bravery

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness

And I see no bravery

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness

Only sadness

Houses burnt beyond repair

The smell of death is in the air

A woman weeping in despair says

He has been here

Tracer lighting up the sky

It's another families' turn to die

A child afraid to even cry out says

He has been here

And I see no bravery

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness

And I see no bravery

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness

There are children standing here

Arms outstretched into the sky

But no one asks the question why

He has been here

Old men kneel and accept their fate

Wives and daughters cut and raped

A generation drenched in hate

Says, he has been here

And I see no bravery

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness

And I see no bravery

No bravery in your eyes anymore

And I see no bravery

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness

And I see no bravery

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness

Only sadness
