My Irrawaddy
Lovechild of May-kha and Mali-kha
Bride of the histories
She is…
My Irrawaddy
North to South
From the beginning till the end
We own as whole
In Myanmar
She is…
My Irrawaddy
From the silvery snowy Himalayas
Through the ravines and across the mountains
To the plains she comes
Queen of the rivers
She is…
My Irrawaddy
Gently now she streams around Legendary Bagan
(For) Kings may come and Dynasties may go
But she...
With unswerving intentions
Is always true to her people
She is…
My Irrawaddy
“Crack” – There goes the rice pot of the Delta
Broken in pieces.
Men they come and they go
Trash may ride along her waves
Becoming the Delta we grow nowadays but…
She is… (Still)
My Irrawaddy
Gold panning
Mercury rising
Fish dying
Human suffering-
What’s left?
Whatever it takes
She will go on forever;
Flow on forever
Where will the sun set one day?
Somewhere by the river bend
…………….
She is…
My Irrawaddy
Somewhere anywhere
Let us meet by the next river bend
Just you and me
……….
My Irrawaddy

တီ့ သူငယ္ခ်င္းရဲ႕ စာအုပ္အတြက္ေရးေပးတဲ့ကဗ်ာေလးပါ
တီ အရင္က ျမန္မာ လိုလဲေရးဖူးပါတယ္ ခုဟာက သူ႔စာအုပ္အတြက္ မို႔လို႔ english ေရးေပးတာပါ
စာအုပ္ က coffee table စာအုပ္ပါ
ျမန္မာလိုပါ ျပန္တင္ေပးလိုက္ပါတယ္ ယွဥ္ၾကည့္ရေအာင္ပါ
တီ့ ကိုယ္တိုင္အေနနဲ႔ကေတာ့ ျမန္မာ လိုေရးရတာ ပိုအားရပါတယ္
စကားလံုးေရြးခ်ယ္ရတာ က အစေပါ့ေလ
အၾကိဳက္ခ်င္းေတာ့ တူခ်င္မွတူမွာပါ
ခံစားၾကည့္ၾကပါ
ဧရာ၀တီ
ေမခ နဲ႔ ေမလိခ ကေန
စလာလိုက္တာ
သူေပါ့
ရာဇ၀င္မ်ားရဲ႕သတို႔သမီးေလ
ေျမာက္ကေနေတာင္
တို႔ျမန္မာ တျပည္ထဲပိုင္တာ
အစေရာ အဆံုးေရာေပါ့
ဟိုးျဖဴျဖဴ နွင္းေတာင္လႊလႊ ကစလို႔
ျမစ္က်ဥ္းေတြ၊ ေတာင္စဥ္ေတြျဖတ္
ေျမျပန္႔ကို သူေရာက္ခဲ့ျပီ
ျမစ္မင္းဧရာ၀တီ
ပုဂံ ကို ပတ္ေခြကာစီးဆင္း
လူမင္းေတြ ဘယ္လိုေျပာင္းေျပာင္း
ျပည္သူေတြကို မေျပာင္းခဲ့တဲ့
သူ႔သေဘာထား
ခုထိမရိုးေသးဘူး
ေပးဆပ္ဆဲပဲ
ျမစ္၀ က ဆန္အိုး
ခုေတာ့ကြဲခဲ့ေပါ
့လူေတြျဖစ္လာတယ္
လူေတြပ်က္သြားတယ္
အမႈိက္ေတြေမ်ာလာတယ္
နႉံးေတြျဖစ္သြားတယ္
ေရႊေတြက်င္ေတာ
့ျပဒါးေတြကမ်ား
လူေတြနဲ႔ငါးေတြက….ဒုကၡမ်ား
ေနာက္ဆံုးေတာ့ ဘာက်န္သလဲ
ဘာပဲျဖစ္ျဖစ္
ငါကေတာ့စီးဆင္းဆဲ
စီးဆင္းျမဲ
“ေန” ဘယ္မွာ၀င္မလဲ
တေနရာရာေပါ့ကြာ
မေက်နပ္ရင္
ေနာက္ျမစ္ေကြ႕မွာေတြ႔မယ္
