시나위 - send your sons to die

전쟁에서 사랑하는 아들을 잃은 어머니의 마음을 담아, 아들을 다시 만나고 싶어하는 슬프고도 간절한 소망이 표현된다
엄마와 아들은 서로의 사랑을 통해 고통을 이겨내려 하지만, 전쟁의 비극은 그들을 갈라놓는다
사회와 정부의 거짓말을 비판하며, 전쟁의 영원한 고통을 암시한다

Flying through the clouds I′m going home,
Mother′s waiting there she′s all alone,
She′s given all she′s got to fight this war,
Now the army wants her to give more.
Hey, there′s something over there,
Hey, someone put up a flare,
Father can you see the shining light,
Now I can′t be frightened of the night.
Mother sees the colonel at the door,
His face is kind but looking kind of sad,
He puts the crumpled letter by her side,
We′re sorry but your only son has died.
Hey, what′s that funny sound,
Hey, I′m falling to the ground,
Mother if you look up to the sky,
Through the clouds you′ll see me flying by.
Why do I feel so cold?
Why does the night grow darker?
My eyes no longer see,
As the life goes out of me.
I can hear my father calling,
Don′t worry son, I′ll take you home now,
No one else is going to hurt you,
Come to me and I will take you.
Every mother′s son is dying,
Every government is lying,
We′re defending oour mothers?
oh oh oh oh oh oh....
Why must we tell this lie and send our sons to die,
oh oh
Time will never stop the blood,
and blood will never stop the war.
