Original Burmese
English Translation
For our lives
placed within
boundaries of darkness ,
She is …… a beacon.
Like the regal moon
peering through dark grey clouds ,
She gives strength and survival
for the darkened earth.
If it is for us,
Her smile hasn’t lessened
even a slightest shade.
With all her strength
and might,
She has provided
Love
and the brightest light.
As we absorb
the waves of her love,
we need to be mindful
of every single moment.
Certainly……..,
if this regal moon disappears
it will be
……….. for an eternity.
We understand
the controversies
of sadness and happiness
flowing along
in this presence of life.
At times,
wild winds
deter her
from galloping as she pleases.
Also,
we despise
the dark grey clouds beside her.
Anticipating
the moon’s departure,
we get up
with every single dog’s bark
amidst the night.
This is what
our lives have become……………
