Aung Way – Stanzas of our 20 Years

Red, red, Oh’ August
Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.

Red, red, Oh’ August
The form of the struggle is not chosen by the ruled but by the ruler.

Red, red, Oh’ August

We never give up, we must be united.

Red, red, Oh’ August
Aung San Suu Kyi is still with us.

Red, red, Oh’ August
Do believe, one day we must win.

Red, red, Oh’ August
Democracy is the best revenge.

Red, red, Oh’ August

Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Red, red, Oh’ August
8888 is always 8888.

Red, red, Oh’ August
long live Saffron Revolution.

Red, red, Oh’ August
R…E…D.

Aung Way
(Poet of Burma)
