Hello everyone, Greetings and blessings. I am Zein Grind from @indonesiabersatu. It's a pleasure for me to participate in the Hive Open Mic event, now in its 228th week. With the theme "Song of Freedom," I feel compelled to bring the voice of struggle with a Punk Rock spirit. The song Buruh Tani is the song I have chosen for my participation in this week's Hive Open Mic event. For me, this is not just a song, but also a manifestation of the lives and struggles of the working class.
"Song of Freedom" often carries strong messages about human rights, peace, and freedom of expression. Music has the power to convey important messages and motivate listeners to think deeper about the meaning of freedom. "Song of Freedom" is a powerful medium to inspire, remind, and unite people in the spirit of unity and justice. Songs about freedom often become symbols of struggle and hope in situations where one's freedom is limited.
Since Marjinal released the song "Buruh Tani," this song has become a symbol of courage and resistance for the working class. In fact, "Buruh Tani" has been adopted as an anthem of struggle by students during demonstrations. For me, "Buruh Tani" is a voice for the unheard and a call to unite in the struggle and liberation of the oppressed people.
In covering this song, my goal is not just to sing a song, but also to voice justice, dignity, and freedom for all the workers and farmers, and those who are submerged in injustice. I hope that the message and meaning contained in this song can be felt by everyone. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share this song of freedom here. May it inspire all of us to continue fighting for true freedom.
Buruh Tani Lyrics
Buruh tani, mahasiswa, kaum miskin kota
Bersatu padu rebut demokrasi
Gegap gempita dalam satu suara
Demi tugas suci yang mulia
Hari-hari esok adalah milik kita
Terciptanya masyarakat sejahtera
Terbentuknya tatanan masyarakat
Indonesia baru tanpa ORBA (Orde Baru)
Marilah kawan, mari kita kabarkan
Ditangan kita, tergenggam arah bangsa
Marilah kawan, mari kita nyanyikan
Sebuah lagu tentang pembebasan
Dibawah kuasa tirani
Ku susuri garis jalan ini
Berjuta kali turun aksi
Bagiku satu langkah pasti
Translate Lyrics
Farm workers, students, urban poor
Unite to seize democracy
Stirring in one voice
For the sake of a noble sacred duty
Tomorrow is ours
The creation of a prosperous society
The establishment of a social order
A new Indonesia without ORBA (New Order)
Come friends, let's spread the word
In our hands, hold the direction of the nation
Come friends, let us sing
A song of liberation
Under the power of tyranny
I trace the line of this road
A million times in action
For me one step is certain
