ငယ္ကလဲငယ္၊ အေနွာင္အတြယ္ကလဲကင္း၊
ငါ့ စိတ္ကူးေတြဆိုတာ တားဆီးမဲ့ ဟင္းလင္း၊
ကမာၻေလာကၾကီးကိုေျပာင္းပစ္မကြဲ ့-
ငါအိပ္မက္မက္ခဲ့တယ္...၊
ၾကီးလဲၾကီးလာ၊ ပိုလဲသိလာ၊
ေလာကဆိုသဟာ မေျပာင္းပါ၊
ငါ့ မွာသာအျမင္ေတြ ေလွ်ာ႔ပစ္ရ၊
ေလာကၾကီးကိုထား၊
ငါ့ေရႊျပည္အား တစ္ခုခုေျပာင္းေပးမယ္ေနာ္
ငါေၾကြးေၾကာ္၊
သို့ေသာ္....သင္းကနည္းနည္းမွ ..ေရြ႔မယ့္ပံုမေပၚ
ဘ၀ဆည္းဆာေန၀င္မဲ႔ အခ်ိန္ ငါေရာက္လို့လာ
သည္တစ္ခ်ိန္ေနာက္ဆံုးၾကိဳးပန္မွ ု
အနီးဆံုး ငါ့မိသားစုမွာသာ
ေျပာင္းလဲစရာ - ငါရွာ ရွွာသာရွာ ဘယ္မွာမွ ငါမေတြ ့။
ခုျဖင့္သည္မွာ .....မရဏ စက္ေပၚ
ေသမင္းကေခၚဖို ့........ ေခ်ာင္း
ေလ်ာငး္ေန၇ျပီ။
သိျပီကြာ (ဒါ .ပထမဆံုးအၾကိမ္ျဖစ္နိုင္ရဲ႔)
ငါ့ကိုယ္ငါသာ ဦးဆံုးေျပာင္းလဲခဲ့ရင္
မိသားစုပါ ေျပာင္းနိုင္မွာပင္
သူတို့ကူညီ ပံ့ပိုးမွဳနဲ႔
ေရႊျပည္သားတို့အတြက္ေကာင္းမွ ု
ငါျပဳနိုင္ေကာင္းရဲ႕ အဲသည္အခါ --
ေလာကကိုပါငါေျပာင္းနိုင္ေကာင္းမွာပါ
ဒါကို ဘယ္သူသိနိုင္မွာလဲ။
when i was young and free my imagination had no limit
i dreamed of changing the world.
as i grew older and wiser , i discovered the world would not change
so i shortened my sights somewhat
and decided to change only my country.
but it , too seemed improvable.
as i grew into my twilight year,in one least desperate attempt,
i settled for changing only my family,those closest to me,
but alas,they world have none of it.
and now as lie on my deathbed,i suddenly realize;
if i had only known myself first , then by example
i would have changed my family.
form their inspiration and encouragement,
i would then have been able to better my country and,
who knows, i may even changed the world.
