Basa Budak Leweh

When The Children Cry
~ white Lion ~

little child
jang,,,
dry your crying eyes
garingkeun mata anjeun anu keur leweh
how can I explain
kumaha kuring rek ngajelaskeunna
the fear you feel inside
kasieun anu dirasakeun dina diri anjeun
cause you were born
sabab anjeun lahir
into this evil world
kajero “dunya ririwa”
where man is killing man
waktu jalema mateni jalma anu sejena
and no one knows just why
jeung teu saurang ge anu nyaho kunaon
what we have become
naon anu kajadian kaurang
just look what we have done
tingali weh naon anu geus ku urang dipigawe
all that we destroyed
sakabeh anu ku urang diancurkeun
you must build again
anjeun kudu ngadegkeun deui,,,

when the children cry
basa budak leweh
let them know we tried
keun weh maranehna nyaho urang geus usaha
cause when the children sing
sabab waktu barudak ngahaleuang
then the new world begins
didinya dunya anyar ngadeg !

little child
jang,,,
you must show the way
anjeun kudu nunjukeun jalan
to a better day
dina poe anup lewih hade
for all the young
kasakabeh anu ngorora
cause you were born
sabab anjeun lahir
for all the world to see
supaya sakabeh dunya neuleu
that we all can live
yen urang kabeh bisa cicing
with love and peace
ku welas asih jeung karahayuan
no more presidents
euweuh deui pamimpin nagara
and all the wars will end
jeung sakabeh perang bakal anggeus
one united world
hiji dunya
under god
dina kakawasaan Gusti !

when the children cry
basa budak leweh
let them know we tried
keun weh maranehna nyaho urang geus usaha
cause when the children sing
sabab waktu barudak ngahaleuang
then the new world begins
didinya dunya anyar ngadeg !

what we have become
naon anu kajadian kaurang
just look what we have done
tingali weh naon anu geus ku urang dipigawe
all that we destroyed
sakabeh anu ku urang diancurkeun
you must build again
anjeun kudu ngadegkeun deui,,,
no more presidents
euweuh deui pamimpin nagara
and all the wars will end
jeung sakabeh perang bakal anggeus
one united world
hiji dunya
under god
dina kakawasaan Gusti !

when the children cry
basa budak leweh
let them know we tried
keun weh maranehna nyaho urang geus usaha
when the children fight
basa barudak garelut
let them know it ain’t right
keun bae manehna ngarti yen eta teu hade
when the children pray
basa barudak ngadunga
let them know the way
keun wae maranehna nyaho pilampaheun
cause when the children sing
sabab waktu barudak ngahaleuang
then the new world begins
didinya dunya anyar ngadeg !
