Let Me Sing You A Song On Freedom!
Jayanta Oinam *
Let me sing you a song on freedom
It has been going on for ages, and
I couldn't hold it anymore,
It has indeed started to harness its own will
Against my claim that I am still a free man!
This song on my freedom,
It cries in its morbid soliloquy
It plays my part, it plays your part
And you and I, somewhere under a gloomy sky
Recite many an untamed verses, and they thought
We are here for the waiting, for a brighter tomorrow!
This song on my freedom,
It summons many a trial on me
It seeks many unsound reasons!
Yet, I continue to sing
Listening alone, like a cry
For numerous gallows, in a single cry!
Let me sing you a song on freedom
Let me sing you a song on freedom
For your freedom
For our freedom
It has been going on for ages, and
I couldn't hold it anymore!
