Текст и перевод песни 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

Revenge Peace

I can't stop thinking, I can't wrap my head around it
Why are there people who enjoy murder?
Just for money
Or for power and fame

For us ordinary people
We're helpless when threatened by a gun
Stealing a life that comes only once
All we can do is pray

Revenge, revenge, damn
Constantly urging us, never letting go
Peace, peace, where are you?
Hiding somewhere, nowhere to be found

When will this end?
Can't we just put our arms around each other?

Wouldn't it be beautiful to live together
Sharing with each other
A warmth that touches our souls
Spreading to every corner of the world

Don't give in, trust me
War is against ourselves
Welcome, freedom
If we can control ourselves

Revenge, revenge, damn
Constantly urging us, never letting go
Peace, peace, where are you?
Hiding somewhere, nowhere to be found

When will this end?
Can't we just put our arms around each other?

I can't stop thinking, I can't wrap my head around it
Why are there people who enjoy murder?
Just for money
Or for power and fame

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