Frères humains

Human brothers
Who fight in this world
For your freedoms
You are my blood -

Human brothers
Who refuse to bow down
To the power of the state
You are my dignity
Human brothers
With darker skin
The vibrant force of our struggles
You are my pride

Human brothers
Victims of SAVAK
Of the CIA, DINA, or the GULAGS
You are my scream in the dark

Human brothers
Who die every day
Under torture
You are my flesh -

Human brothers
With closed eyes and mouths
Who slowly starve to death
You are my raised fist

Human sisters
Who hit the pavement
With our differences
You are my revolt

Sisters and brothers
Trapped in our loneliness
Let’s blow up the walls
Of the prisons of our puppets.
