O KID, DO NOT CRY

O kid, do not cry

A sea of tears would forge at my heart

Its waves would hit the rocks

 

Your hands you clung to the stones are all in pieces

Your looks are lifeless bloody red

Let the ones cry

Who created migration roads

 

O humanity, it is too late

You are going to knock your head against the wall

I question where this your greed for war

Would halt

O kid, do not cry

Let your mom cry

 

Households perished, houses demolished

Journey for hope is down at heels

If there is humanity, let it lament

O kid, do not cry, who is going to cry

 

Aylan Kurdi fell short

Then create another one again

Throw the innocent babies into the sea

The ones starting wars are to lose their human feeling

They sowed the whirlwind to reap poison

O kid, do not cry, let the world cry
