WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009


A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia:

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)

Seberkas kilatan putih terang membutakan
Api memancar ke angkasa Gaza malam ini
Orang-orang berlari untuk berlindung
Tidak mengetahui apakah mereka sudah mati atau hidup

Mereka datang dengan tank dan pesawat tempur
Memporak porandakan dengan api yg berkobar
Dan tidak ada yg peduli
Hanya suara melengking di dalam asap pekat berkabut

Kami tidak akan turun
Pada malam hari, tanpa berjuang
Anda dapat membakar masjid dan rumah-rumah kami serta sekolah kami
Tetapi semangat kami tidak akan pernah mati
Kami tidak akan turun
Malam ini di Gaza

Perempuan dan anak-anak sama-sama
Dibunuh dibunuh secara kejam baik malam dan subuh
Sementara yang disebut pemimpin negara jauh entah kemana
Hanya berdebat tentang siapa yang salah atau benar

Tetapi mereka tak punya nyali, hanya kata-kata tak berguna
Dan bom berjatuhan seperti hujan asam
Tetapi disambut dengan air mata, darah dan penderitaan
Anda masih dapat mendengar suara menembus asap pekat berkabut

Kami tidak akan turun
Pada malam hari, tanpa berjuang
Anda dapat membakar masjid dan rumah-rumah kami serta sekolah kami
Tetapi semangat kami tidak akan pernah mati
Kami tidak akan turun
Malam ini di Gaza
