My Voice

Afghanistanကဗ်ာ
"ငါ့အသံ"

ငါ့ႏႈတ္​ခမ္​း​ေပၚမွာ အသံတိတ္​​ေတးတစ္​ပုဒ္​နဲ႔
ငါ့​ေက်ာ​ေပၚမွာ ႏိုင္​ငံျခားျဖစ္​​ေက်ာပိုးအိတ္​တစ္​လုံးနဲ႔
ရပ္​​ေဝး​ေျမက ငါလာတယ္​

ဘဝျမစ္​ထဲ စုန္​ဆင္​းလိုက္​​ေတာ့မွ
(ဂ်ြန္​နာ လိုပဲ)
​ေဝလငါး အၿမိဳခံထားရတဲ့
ငါ့အသံကို ​ေတြ႕တယ္​

ငါ့တကယ္​့ဘဝက ငါ့အသံထဲမွာ ​ေနတယ္​

*ဂ်ြန္​နာနဲ႔​ေဝလငါးပုံျပင္​ ဓမၼ​ေဟာင္​းက်မ္​းမွာရွိ
ၾကမၼာဆိုးသယ္​လာသူ
My Voice

I come from a distant land
With a foreign knapsack on my back
With a silenced song on my lips

As I travelled down the river of my life
I saw my voice
(like Jonah)
swallowed by a whale

And my very life lived in my voice
