Song Lyrics to There Was a Massacre in Andizhan:
(Translation from the website of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting)
Don't say you haven't heard,
You well-dressed princesses.
Hey, you deaf and blind ones -
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
On the president's orders,
With Kalashnikov bullets
The people were shot at by his servants.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
The Padishah [Shah] did not listen to the people,
He did not hear their cries of suffering,
He has not chosen the path of justice.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
He let the armoured vehicles open crackling fire,
Killing young and old,
Shooting, shooting, shooting terribly.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
Shooting, cutting people to ribbons,
Hunting them down in the streets,
Like dogs biting their prey.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
Children died on the streets,
Bright red like tulips,
Shattered mothers were weeping,
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
He destroyed a local community,
Shaken like fruit from a mulberry tree,
Both men and women.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
Women with babes in arms,
Pregnant women too,
Died begging for mercy.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
The whole world found out
about this massacre,
Everyone was filled with anger.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
Fatherless sons
born in the street -
That's who did the shooting.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
The bastards who fired the shots
Are the kind who sleep with their mothers,
And are mired in their own excrement.
There was a massacre in Andizhan
We tested our ruthless leader,
And found him a terrorist.
We were filled with hatred and sorrow.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
Uzbeks will not awaken,
Sunk in their fear,
Dictators will continue to shoot.
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
Don't say you haven't heard,
You well-dressed princesses.
Hey, you deaf and blind ones -
There was a massacre in Andizhan.
