pouvez-vous entendre les larmes?

pouvez-vous entendre les larmes?
it was never unseen but it was heard,
those tears that were emitted but the rain clouds hide it with their thunder

pouvez-vous entendre les larmes?
the sufferings they suffer day and night,
all we had to suffer was the nightmares that we fright

pouvez-vous entendre les larmes?
those 5 duties they did,
without any complaints nor sighs even though their lives are on the line
we prolonged our duties due to procrastination of time

pouvez-vous entendre les larmes?
while they were young all they know is sorrow
while we were young we hasted with trends to follow

pouvez-vous entendre les larmes?
those tears shed for their unknown fathers and mothers
our tears shed cuz we can't get what we were lustfully after

pouvez-vous entendre les larmes?
they fight for the real rights,
while we are here squabbling over who's might is right,
Blue, Red, Green, Yellow
telling people they are the best to follow

pouvez-vous entendre les larmes?
they don't care for our help
they don't care fighting with rocks against bullets,
when they die only the spiteful gleefully yelps,
when they die, they die as saints

but we?

pouvez-vous entendre les larmes?
when we offered help all they said was,
pray for us
and help yourselves

after we win,
we'll join you.
unity must exist within
or else those tears are just some residue

something we read for our emotional pleasures,
something we read so we don't feel any displeasure.

don't let our cousin's tears go to waste,
we are out of time so make haste,
do not let our trust be misplaced,
to God we begin with and to God we will face
