Se-karik…

Se-karik hau mak maromak
Hau sei tama ba Bush, Saddam, Powel nian laran.
Truka sira nian fuan ho labarik sira nian fuan…..

Se-karik Mahatma Gandhi sei moris
Hau sei truka Bush, Saddam, Powel nian kakutak
Ho Mahatma Gandhi nian kakutak…..

Se-karik hau bele hamosu mina-rai
Hau sei hamosu mina-rai
Iha White House nian sorin….

Se-karik hau bele hamaran mina-rai
Hau sei hamaran mina-rai iha Iraq
Ba fulan ida nian laran….
Fo tempu ba Bush, Powel hodi hanoin tan…

Se-karik hau mateklamar
Hau sei babeur Bush, Saddam, Powel
Sai tauk hare sira nian kilat rasik…

Se-karik hau bele halo milagre
Hau sei halo kilat nuklir….
Sai boneka ba labarik sira bele halimar…

Se-karik hau anzu
Hau sei fo liras ba labarik sira houtu
Hodi semo
Wainhira bomba tun iha Iraq…..

If Only…

If I were God…
Bush, Saddam, Powel, I'd enter their bodies
And replace their hearts with a child's….

If Mahatma Gandhi were alive
Bush, Saddam, Powel, I'd replace their spirits
With Mahatma Gandhi's…..

If I could create oil
I'd create it next to the soil
Where the White House toils…...

If I could remove oil
I'd remove it from Iraq's soil
For one month
To give Bush and Powel, more time to ponder……..

If I were a ghost
Bush, Saddam, Powel, I'd fright them
Away from their WMDs…….

If I could perform a miracle
I'd turn nuclear bombs…
Into dolls for children to play…

If I were an angel
I'd give wings to every child
To fly…
When bombs fall in Iraq…….
