Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Dendam Damai

Dendam Damai

Tak habis pikir aku tak mengerti
Mengapa ada orang yang senang membunuh?
Hanya karena uang semata
Atau demi kuasa dan nama

Bagi kita rakyat biasa
Tak berdaya ditodong senjata
Mencuri hidup yang hanya sekali
Hanya berdoa yang kita bisa

Dendam, dendam, celaka
Menghasut kita tak jemu menggoda
Damai, damai, di mana
Bersembunyi tak ada wujudnya

Kapan berakhirnya situasi seperti ini?
Tidak bisakah kita saling berpelukan?

Bukankah indah hidup bersama
Saling berbagi saling menyinta
Terasa hangat sampai ke jiwa
Memancar ke penjuru dunia

Jangan goyah percayalah teman
Perang itu melawan diri sendiri
Selamat datang kemerdekaan
Kalau kita mampu menahan diri

Dendam, dendam, celaka
Menghasut kita tak jemu menggoda
Damai, damai, di mana
Bersembunyi tak ada wujudnya

Kapan berakhirnya situasi seperti ini?
Tidak bisakah kita saling berpelukan?

Tak habis pikir aku tak mengerti
Mengapa ada orang yang senang membunuh?
Hanya karena uang semata
Atau demi kuasa dan nama

Hanya karena itu semua
Rela hancurkan tanah tercinta
Rela hancurkan tanah tercinta

Bloody Peace

I'm dumbstruck, can't wrap my brain
Why are some people fond of killing?
Just for money alone
Or for power and fame

For us common folk
We are helpless, being threatened by guns
Roving away a life that come only once
Praying is all we can do

Grudge, grudge, the curse
Inciting us, never tire of tempting us
Peace, peace, where
Hiding, never shows its face

When will this misery end?
Can't we just embrace each other?

Isn't it beautiful living together
Sharing, caring for each other
A warm feeling down to our souls
Radiating throughout the world

Don't falter, my friend, believe me
War is fighting against yourself
Welcome the freedom
If we can control ourselves

Grudge, grudge, the curse
Inciting us, never tire of tempting us
Peace, peace, where
Hiding, never shows its face

When will this misery end?
Can't we just embrace each other?

I'm dumbstruck, can't wrap my brain
Why are some people fond of killing?
Just for money alone
Or for power and fame

Just for all of that
Willing to destroy our beloved land
Willing to destroy our beloved land
