As you can see behind us
This is what we call
Lapindo mudflow
Fluid hot mud forming a pool
This is the birthplace of my children
(Sobbing)
Where my parents are buried
This is where my
extended family used to live.
But in mere seconds,
everything that was once here,
was perished, destroyed
Do you notice that the women
from this area are strong?
Because they endured
the hardest strike of mudflow
We had to leave, were forced out
Dare you ask where was the government?
(There was) No sign
of their existence.
We really needed support
we needed friends
during that time
But who came for us?
No one.
We stayed.
The fate of our children,
were on our mind
Children should be in school.
This is how we take blows after blows
We take how society undermine our existence
We stay strong
We stand united
although we were removed from history
I see women here feeling my pain
they too, feel what we feel
I truly hope what happened in Porong
will not happen in other places
may no one be mistreated like us
enough is enough!
Let this pain stop here.
Please, don't let this happen again,
Defend your space,
Embrace your land,
Defend your birth place,
those people do not think that we exist.
Why do you think I say
something like this?
Because the government
does not acknowledge our rights
This is what we feel until now.
There are children born with disabilities
their parents used to work here,
for the mining company
we have been inhaling poisonous gas
we're exposed to constant heat
the Government doesn't care about us
Do you want to destroy
our future generation?
because of this Lapindo Brantas Company?
Friends, let us become strong,
let's unite.
Let us build a powerful women's movement,
and show that
Women are not weak.
Women are strong. We truly are strong.
Let's beat this Government.
Let's beat this state.
They exist because of us
but when we are ruined,
they're nowhere to be found.
They are there to defend
the mining company
not the people.
