Lyrics:
Last night I read in a local Newspaper
It was the story of Oinam
What a story of sin and shame
The Jawans molested and raped my sisters
In torrential rain and scorching heat
Men and women were made to stand
Chorus:
I cried in the silence shouting my shout from rushing out
How long are we to bear such an insult
That day when the sun sunk behind Oinam hills
The desires and dreams of this land rekindled.
That day mothers wept at the graves
The church became concentration camps
Men were beaten up and hung down
Two women gave birth to their babies
In the open in front of Jawans
Oh Oinam what a nightmare!
Last Chorus: (based on Psalm 137)
Oinam, Oinam, Oinam, Oh Oinam
You are a sign of bondage and slavery
If my people forget you Oh Oinam
Let them never, never sing again.
Негізгі бет OINAM- A song that mourns the victims of Oinam.
