Mengapa oh Mengapa (Why oh Why) || Original song in Acoustic Version

Hello, my brothers and sisters. I am a member of the band "Indonesia Bersatu" I would like to introduce one of our original songs, entitled "Mengapa oh Mengapa" (Why oh Why). This song was released in 2009 on the album "Jeritan Suara Rakyat" (Sound of the People). in this post too, I put this song in the original version;

This song tells about a life full of social inequality in our country. In a country that has natural wealth, there are still many poor people who find it difficult to find food, a mother who must be willing to work hard for little wages to be able to buy her child's milk so as not to be malnourished. At that time. They are victims of the greed of a corrupt government.

This song also gives a message to the people, that we don't need to expect much from the government, and also, we invite people to help each other, so that the burden of their lives is not too heavy. The lyrics of this song are;

"Banyak saudaraku disana
Berjuang didalam hidupnya
Hanya untuk membeli susu anaknya
Tak Perdulikan usia yang semakin renta

Bukalah mata kita
Masih adakah hati yang mempedulikan sesama
cobalah kita rasakan derita mereka, derita kita
Barulah kita mengerti akan pahitnya hidup yang sebenarnya

Aku heran, Mengapa oh mengapa?
ini semua bisa terjadi di negeriku yang mewah ini

Kapankah derita ini berakhir dengan dan tanpa ada yang terluka
Ternyata akhirnya dan benarkah hidup kita hanya untuk menderita?"

The lyrics that have been translated into English are;

"Many of my brothers there
Struggle in life
Just to buy her child's milk
No matter the age that is getting old

Open our eyes
Is there still a heart that cares for others
let's try to feel their pain, our suffering
Only then will we understand the true bitterness of life

I wonder, Why oh why?
all of this can happen in my luxurious country

When will this suffering end with and without anyone getting hurt
It turns out that in the end and is it true that our lives are only to suffer?"

Thank you for watching and listening to our songs. I hope you like it.
