ENGLISH TRANSLATION

THE LAMENTING SON: MESSAGE OF LOVE TO MY PARENTS SUJIE WEN AND FENGSHEN PEI.

THE NIGHT IS LONG AND SILENT AND I’M STILL WAITING PATIENTLY
LONGING TO HEAR YOUR VOICE, AS YOU’VE BEEN SILENT FOR SO LONG.
BUT THE WOUND IS DEEP AND THE PAIN IS STRONG
AND MY HEART IS SLOWLY BROKEN AND I CAN NO LONGER COPE.

YOU TOLD ME THAT TONGA WILL BE OUR SAFE AND LOVING HOME
THAT WE LIVE AND TREASURE FOR THE REST OF OUR LIFE
BUT OUR COURSE NOW CHANGES AS YOU WERE VICIOUSLY MURDERED.
AM STILL SHOCKED AND HURT, THIS HAS SPLIT OUR FAMILY FOREVER.

CAN IT EVER BE FORGOTEN? HOW CAN IT EVER BE FORGOTTEN?
THAT MY PARENTS WERE MURDERED WHILE
WORKING IN THEIR PLANTATION
DOING NO ONE HARM BUT SHARING LOVE AND SMILES.

IT IS EVEN MORE PAINFUL KNOWING THAT YOU WERE MURDERED
SO THAT THEY CAN STEAL THE THINGS YOU HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY FOR THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
HOW DO YOU FEEL IF YOUR PARENTS WERE VICIOUSLY MURDERED LIKE THAT?
THAT’S WHAT THEY DID TO MY BELOVED PARENTS.

ALAS! BEIJING, WITH MY UNDYING LOVE,
MY HEART HAS BEEN TORN FROM THE FRIENDLY ISLES
HELPLESS I AM IN MY STRUGGLE TO RECOGNISE
LET THE GOD ALMIGHTY BRING US “JUSTICE”
(FROM CHICHI YOUR ONLY SON.)

POPOAKI ‘OFA MEIHE FAMILI MOE KAUNGAME’A O CHI CHI, SUJIE WEN MO FENGSHEN PEI.
