Текст и перевод песни Iwan Fals - Untuk Bram

Untuk Bram

Panji-panji, putih-putih
Berkibar setengah tiang
Burung-burung merpati
Menebarkan melati
Lampu suci dinyalakan
Dalang tua berdoa, oo-oh

Wayang kayon diletakkan
Lakon mulai dilakukan
Rahasia dibeberkan
Peristiwa dijelaskan
Bayangan dihidupi
Cermin hati dibagi, oo-oh

Wooo, alam semesta
Menerima perlakuan sia-sia
Diracun jalan napasnya
Diperkosa kesuburannya

Wooo, rakyat bernilai
Menerima penderitaan curang
Digusur jalan hidupnya
Digoda kemakmurannya, wooo

Wooo, lakon selesai
Penonton pulang ke rumahnya
Membawa hati yang bertanya, tanya, tanya
Siapa tadi yang menjadi korban

Dijawab tanya, tanya-tanya
Pertanyaan abadi ditanyakan lagi
Tanyakan, tanyakan
Tanyakan, tanyakan

Pertanyaan abadi ditanyakan lagi
Ditanyakan
Ditanyakan
Ditanyakan

For Bram

White flags, so white,
Fly at half-mast, my love.
Doves take flight,
Scattering jasmine above.
Holy lamps are lit,
The old puppeteer prays, oh-oh.

The kayon is placed just so,
The play begins, you know.
Secrets are unveiled for all to see,
Events explained for you and me.
Shadows brought to life, it seems,
Mirrors of the heart, sharing dreams, oh-oh.

Wooo, the universe so grand,
Receives such pointless treatment from man's hand.
Its breath poisoned, can't you see?
Its fertility raped tragically.

Wooo, people of worth, they say,
Receiving deceitful suffering every day.
Their livelihoods bulldozed, it's a shame,
Their prosperity tempted, it's a dangerous game, wooo.

Wooo, the play is done, my dear,
The audience heads home, filled with fear.
Carrying hearts that question, question, question why,
Who was the victim, they cry.

Questions answered, question after question,
Eternal questions asked again, no suggestion.
Ask, ask, my love,
Ask, ask, my dove.

Eternal questions asked again, it's true,
Questioned,
Questioned,
Questioned anew.
