Kampung Kedayan Tiris 111

I am the chosen one
to translate years of neglect
poor we are
from the vicious cycle.

Kampung Kedayan Tiris
is a village of a thousand dream
development is just a foul play
from the dirty hand.

I am the chosen one
bringing hope to our dream
a village from the thousand years
a game play to the end.

It is true that this village
has lived the life of fear
the dream thrown into thin air
and fall that break every heart.

I am the chosen one
to build a house of brick
lights from the sun
waters that flow from rivers
and the jungle of colours.

Kampung Kedayan Tiris
I will give you a life
of your own
to call your own.

Kuala Sibuti

He said he comes from Kuala Sibuti
a fisherman who has drown the thousand seas
and comes a day his voices loud and clear
he said his children are from Kuala Sibuti
fishermen who will die with the sea
and here they build houses
that burnt in the sand
and fire the sky with floating haze
and they make dream in daylight
and they said it glows in the glass
Kuala Sibuti is a village of the open seas
where every night it thunders the shore
but can our hand reach out that hopes
our children clear the misfortunes
to build a house of glass
on top of a stormy waves.

He said he comes from Kuala Sibuti
a fisherman who has drown the thousand seas
bringing news that reached the sky
a fisherman will never die
even hunger in the deep ocean.
