Cry Bangladesh, cry


 

All I could do for Asya was shed a few tears

And so I did dear Asya, my heart is broken my child.

The one who were to protect you, raped you

And there was no one to save you, at an age so vulnerable

My child, please forgive me, my weakness.


Of young people of Bangladesh,

They came out on the streets in protests

Came out in number, demanding justice

And police charged baton on them

Police who were chased away like mice

By the Hiz-but Tahir jehadists only months ago

Now Mighty against the protesting young women, My God!


Life did not give you much but now you are at peace

While I cry for my weakness, you are in the stars

All I can do for you Asya is shed a few tears

And so I will, I will cry a river for you, my child Asya.
