Umut [English translation]

Run, atomic reactors run

While the sun rises, human-made moons rise

And the dustcart gathers

The corpses from the sidewalks

The corpses of unemployed and hungry workers

Run, atomic reactors run

While the sun rises, human-made moons pass

While the sun rises, the peasant family

Man to woman, donkeys and the plows

Donkeys and women ploughs the plow

Tills the soil, can be hardly called soil

Run, atomic reactors run

While the sun rises, human-made moons pass

A child dies while the sun rises

A Japanese boy dies in Hiroshima

Twelve years old, numbered

Neither by chincough nor meningitis

He dies in the year of 1958

A Japanese boy dies in Hiroshima

Just because he was born in 1945

Run, atomic reactors run

While the sun rises, human-made moons pass

While the sun rises a chubby man

Gets up from his bed and dressing penisvely

'Who should be ratted on

How to find favour in supervisor's eyes'

Run, atomic reactors run

While the sun rises, human-made moons pass

While the sun rises the black driver

Gets hanged on the edge of road

Gets him burned with covering him with paraffine

Later on, some of them goes to drink cofee

Some of them get shaved in barber

Some of them open their workplaces

Some of them kiss their girlfriends in their foreheads

Run, atomic reactors run

While the sun rises, human-made moons pass

While the sun rises, the convict woman

Got tied up and lain back

Her bare breasts covered with blood

She gets inquisitioned in a basement

One of them is twenty, the other one is sixty

Their shirts are sweaty and arms embarked

And the sandbags and electrods

Run, atomic reactors run

While the sun rises, human-made moons pass

While the sun rises upon the leaf of rose

From plane areas the silent pilots

Loads the 'H' bomb to the jet-propelled planes

While the sun rises, while the sun rises

Students and workers got massacred with automatic guns

Acacia trees of the avenue

Windows, vases in the balcoonies

While the sun rises, the politician

Returns his mansion from a feast

While the sun rises, birds sing

While the sun rises, while the sun rises

A young mother breasts her baby

Run, atomic reactors run

While the sun rises, human-made moons pass

While the sun rises, I just passed a sleepless

And a long night

With the aches

I'm the one who thought about the death which is missed

I'm the one who thought about you and my homeland

You, homeland and our world

Run, atomic reactors run

While the sun rises, human-made moons pass

And while the sun rises, isn't there any hope?

Hope, hope, hope... Hope is inside.
