Lagu Butet Untuk Gaza
Beberapa jam yang lalu, di internet beredar sebuagu yang ditulis oleh Michael Heart. Sebuah lagu untuk mengenang ketakutan dan kegulauan rakyat di Gaza yang tidak tahu sampai kapan nyawa masih terus bernyata di bawah gempulan senjata kimia Israel. Lagunya cukup bagus.
Jadi teringat dimasa zaman baholak dulu ada lagu butet untuk mengenang jaman perjuangan melawan penjajah. Lagunya tidak kalah heroiknya. Sambil menikmati dinginnya hari di musim hujan ini, enakan dengar2 lagu. berikut kedua lagu tersebut:
WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right
But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
Butet dipangungsian do apangmu ale butet
Damargurilla damardarurat ale butet
Damargurilla damardarurat ale butet
I doge doge doge (hi) dai doge (hi) doge (hi) doge
I doge doge doge (hi) dai doge (hi) doge (hi) doge
Butet sotung ngolngolan ro hamuna ale butet
Pai ma tona manang surat ale butet
Pai ma tona manang surat ale butet
I doge doge doge (hi) dai doge (hi) doge (hi) doge
I doge doge doge (hi) dai doge (hi) doge (hi) doge
Butet tibo do mulak au apangmu ale butet
Masunta ingkon saut do talu ale butet
Masunta ingkon saut do talu ale butet
I doge doge doge (hi) dai doge (hi) doge (hi) doge
I doge doge doge (hi) dai doge (hi) doge (hi) doge
Butet haru patibu ma magodang ale butet
Asa adong da palang merah ale butet
Da palang merah ni negara ale butet
I doge doge doge (hi) dai doge (hi) doge (hi) doge
I doge doge doge (hi) dai doge (hi) doge (hi) doge
