Lament of Macedonia - Night Fire
By Pingtinghe
In the dark night of North Macedonia
The nightclub in the city of Kochani is bustling with people
The music is blaring, and the dance steps are intertwined
Laughter and the clinking of wine glasses, it's an ordinary kind of intoxication
However, the gears of fate quietly go out of alignment
A big fire, like a devil, makes a sudden attack
From the hidden corners, with great rapidity
It opens its greedy, gaping maw
The tongues of fire wantonly lick the walls
The thick smoke, like a ghost, spreads wildly
The terrified shouts of people echo in the darkness
It's the desperate resistance of life against death
The lights shatter in the intense heat
Hope is wrapped layer by layer in fear
The young bodies flee in a panic
But are blocked again and again by the merciless walls of fire
Some people are shivering in the corner
Tears mixed with sweat blur their eyes
They recall the beauty of the past
At this moment, life is as precarious as a candle in the wind
The figures of the firefighters finally appear in the glow of the fire
They go against the current, fearless of the thick smoke and the sweltering heat
The water guns in their hands gush out the power of hope
Engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the fire demon
Yet, the shadow of the disaster has deeply enveloped
59 lives are lost forever on this night
155 wounds are engraved on the body of the city
The cries of the relatives wail sorrowfully in the wind
The bell of national mourning rings
Seven days of solemnity, in memory of the departed souls
This fire is a heavy scar
Engraved in the long river of history, warning the future
Let us remember this lesson of blood and tears
On every ordinary night
Cherish life and safeguard the haven of safety
Let not the tragedy repeat itself
When the first ray of light of the morning shines down
In the ruins, the dust slowly settles
The charred walls stand silently
Telling the story of the fright and struggle of the previous night
The streets and alleys are filled with a sorrowful atmosphere
In people's eyes, there is nothing but sadness and confusion
Those once vivid faces
Now, can only be gazed at in memories
Every withered flower
Once held the dream of spring
Every departed life
Set sail with unfulfilled longings
On this sorrowful land
We reflect, and we grow
Weave a strong net with the ropes of safety
So that danger has nowhere to hide
Let the souls of the deceased rest in peace
Let the lives of the living regain hope
From the ashes of this disaster
Arise a safer city-state
