The Ballad of the Losers (The Defeated)

maybe we are just tired after centuries of debates

to see the tree and mountain fall down one by one

valley and river are full of stones

and the rain that is reluctant to come to the ground

maybe we are just tired after centuries of anger

to see the river and sea blackened because of spilled oil

the big fishing boat that continuously spread its net

forces away the fishermen's boats to the [shallow] coastal waters

maybe we are just tired, losing energy

to breath the smog from the cars that fills6

the air

the bad smell from scattered garbage

the clogged up ditch in all over the city

maybe we are just tired and almost giving up

to the law of the nature that has begun to change

maybe we are just tired because the rays from the fire starts to dim

blown by the strong wind without any barriers

maybe we are just tired because we are tired

all out of energy all out of blood [=bled dry]
