The girl from Rangoon

Song dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi.

By Douglas Gattini, Chilean Folk Singer.

We consider you an angel, girl from Rangoon

your great fortitude has power that can light up the moon

for the good people of Burma you are a great hope for their lives

peace can respect human rights.

Mahatma Gandhi and non violence’re fixed in your mind

there’s the equality of Mandela and democracy

your speech in the Pagoda was like Martin Luther King’s

words of Aung San Suu Kyi.

Sing, we sing with you, we dance with you, with freedom and without fear

Ring, let’s form a ring, let’s all join hands around the world.

The big struggle for a life lived with dignity

with your needed social economic policy,

aspirations of a girl like her father, just the same:

truth, justice and gentleness.

Like the coolness and the shade: peace, security

a good cause without justice brings no lasting peace

as you say it’s not power that corrupts, but it’s fear

words of Aung San Suu Kyi.
