03. Malakem (“Headhunting” in Saysiyat language)

We live in the same forest.

We work on the same field.

We grow on the same earth.

We swim in the same river.

This land is yours, but it can also be mine.

This land is life, and for it we will fight.

Even if you take my life, I won’t give up my land.

Even if you slash my head, I will still firmly stand.

I will sacrifice my life, for the bliss of my coming generations.

There is no way back.
