Malaysia celebrates her 57th year of Independence with laws against freedom of speech. What does it mean to be Merdeka (Free)?

lyrics

Kita kan semua, Anak Merdeka
Atau biri-biri menunggu gembala?

(Are we not the children of Freedom?
or are we sheep waiting for a shepherd?)

Kita kan semua, Anak Merdeka
Atau biri-biri menunggu gembala?

Jika disuruh diam lantanglah bersuara
kita kan semua Anak Merdeka

(If you are told to be silent, speak up instead
are we not all the children of Freedom?)

Kita kan semua, Anak Merdeka
Atau biri-biri menunggu gembala?

Jika diarah jangan berarak
Jika disuruh diam sahaja
Jika diarah jangan bertanya
Jawablah kita Anak Merdeka

(If you're told not to march
If you're told to stay silent
If you are ordered not to question
Give them an answer: We are the children of Freedom! )

Jika laungan disahut baton dan air kimia
Jangan kita takut dan jangan kita gentar
Anak Malaysia kita di jalan yang benar
Penjajah dan pencuri akan jatuh jua

(If your cries are answered by batons and chemical-laced water
Do not be afraid, do not be swayed
children of Malaysia we are on the path of truth
the thieves and oppressors will meet their fate)

Dibaham semarak Anak Merdeka
Dibaham semarak Anak Merdeka
Dibaham semarak Anak Merdeka
Dibaham semarak Anak Merdeka

(Engulfed in the flames
of the free people)

Kita kan semua, Anak Merdeka
Atau biri-biri menunggu gembala?

Kita kan semua, Anak Merdeka
Atau biri-biri menunggu gembala?
