A sa..Shwe Ba Nar Mae..”At First “Shwe Ba” will suffer…but wait and see..HE WILL WIN over the villain ultra-Nationalist 969

There is a popular saying in Burmese…A sa..Shwe Ba Nar Mae..”At First “Shwe Ba” will suffer…but wait and see..HE WILL WIN over the villains.

In 50’s and 60’s Shwe Ba was the most popular movie star amongst the 80% of Burma’s rural population. He was so loved by the viewers that according the plot of movie, the villains used to have an upper-hand and and tortured the Shwe Ba. Movie audiences were always angry and tried to help Shwe ba by throwing with what they have: slippers, stones, “Pyaung-phu-yoes or left over corn stems etc. and damaged the silver-screen.
So the producers need to put the large bold sub-titles that at first “Shwe Ba” will suffer…but at last he will win.

This became a popular saying in Burmese…A sa..Shwe Ba Nar Mae..”

IRONICALLY that movie star Shwe Ba is a MUSLIM.

သူငယ္ခ်င္း ရယ္…
ဒီဇာတ္လမ္းမွာ
လူဆိုးေတြ
တစ္ေယာက္မွ မ ေသ ေသးဘူးလား…
လူေကာင္းေတြ
ဒုကၡမ်ားလွပါျပီကြယ္…

အသက္ တစ္ ေခ်ာင္းလံုး ဆံုးရွုံးမယ္ဆိုရင္
နာမည္ တစ္လံုးေတာ့ အဖတ္တင္ ခ်င္ တယ္
ေခ်ာက္ ကမ္းပါးစြန္းက လူကို
တြန္းအားေတြ မ ေပးၾကပါနဲ့
ေျပးစရာ ေျမ
မရွိေတာ့တဲ့အခါ
ကိုယ့္ ဖိနပ္ ဟာ
ကိုယ့္ခံတပ္ပါပဲ…..
