I've got a stody to tell
Don't just look at the facts that
they ruined our homes
or my country is almost gone
or they have either killed my compatriots, or diiven them and myself away
but also look at what they gave to my uncle who couldn't escape
They gave him something to eat
Because of their humanity,
my uncle didn't starve to death
Not only that,
I also got a story to tell
I want people to know how good they are
Otherwise, people will only see
war, ruins, death, refuge, tears and blood
I also want people to know
the endless tragic pictures are not the whole truth
the endless sad stories are not the whole story
Not only did they burn down
our villages, towns, hospitals, schools, houses,
and killed our parents, husbands and children
they also gave my uncle something to eat
to keep him alive
and me a story to tell
For these, we are both grateful
My uncle won't let them get out of our land
Otherwise he wouldn't have anything to eat
I won't let them go back to their country
Otherwise I wouldn't have such a story to tell
I want everyone to know the facts within the facts
I want everyone to hear the story within the story
This is not a war of aggression
This is a special military operation
They came here not only to burn, kill and destroy
but also to keep my uncle from starving to death
This is not a made-up legend,
This is a true story
