Demo Damai

Kunyalakan televisi

Kuntonton berita

Ah demo ... demo lagi

Kenapa setiap hari demo?

Jalanan jadi macet

Aku jadi takut sekolah

Ayah takut ke kantor

Ibu takut ke pasar

Kami takut semua

Takut kena pukul

Takut dilempar batu

Takut demonya marah melulu

Kalau setiap hari demo

Aku tak jadi pintar

Mestinya tak merusak

Tidak main pukul

Tidak memaksa-maksa

Demolah dengan damai

Peaceful Demo
I turned the television
I watched news
Ah demo ... demo again
Why every day demo?
The streets became jammed
I'm so afraid of school
Dad scared to office
Mother was afraid to market
We were scared all
Fear caned
Fear stoned
Fear of angry demo
If every day demo
I'm not so smart
It should not damage
No beat
No force
Please demo peacefully

Golda Editha Sacchayarin, Kls. 6, Sukabumi (2010):

Menuntut Ilmu

Pagi-pagi buta

Aku sudah bangun

Kaki kuayunan

Demi menggapai cita-cita

Walau harus menempuh jalan berkelok

Walau terik matahari menghitamkan kulitku

Walau rasa lapar dan dahaga menyerangku

Aku tetap pergi

Untuk meraih ilmu setinggi bintang-bintang di langit

Agar aku dapat meraih cita-cita

Dan berguna untuk negaraku Indonesia

Seek Knowledge
Early morning
I'm awake
I step my leg
For the sake of reaching their dreams
Although must take the detour
Despite the blazing sun my skin discolor
Despite hunger and thirst attacked
I still go
To achieve maximum knowledge as high as stars in the sky
So that I can achieve my goals
And useful to my country Indonesia
