Song for Gaza

Berkali-kali aku agak geram lihat aksi israel, tayangan TV-One yang menyiarkan secara live siaran Aljazeera, membuatku berdoa semakin kencang agar israel di Adzab oleh Allah. TV-One menyiarkan secara apik tayangan korban di gaza. Musik pengiring yang biasanya mengiringi diselala-sela berita terkadang mengusikku, sebenarnya ini musik siapa ya? kok musiknya berbahasa inggris??. Lewat bantuan google ternyata ketemu juga nih, ternyata ini adalah musik yang diciptakan oleh Michael Heart, song writer asal Los Angles. Ketika kucermati secara detail lagunya, sangat menyentuh sekali, terutama di bait "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". Kalau diterjemahkan kurang lebih lagu ini mendukung perjuangan palestine di Gaza. dalam websitenya juga disebutkan kalau sebenarnya lagu ini mau dijual mp3nya dan keuntungannya bisa digunakan untuk membantu korban di gaza, tapi Michael mengurungkannya dan malah mengratiskannya untuk didownload (free of charge). Dan setelah download kalau memang mau nyumbang bisa langsung lewat UNWRA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East)...mau download lagunya?klik disini

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009


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
