letra de hundred year hunger - billy bragg

Loading...

[verse 1]
these olive groves have roots so deep
seventy centuries and more
they fed the fellahin who sought
peace beneath their shade
my father’s father worked this land
before the time the lines were drawn
and distant declarations were made

[bridge]
and hunger
and suffering
and slaughter
and dread

[chorus]
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
existence is resistence
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
we will not leave this land
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
existence is resistence
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
we will not leave this land

[verse 2]
my mother was a refugee
settlers came and burned the field
until no longer could she
feed the family
live for decades in a camp
a narrow strip along the coast
where desperation filled the days
and hunger haunted every home
[bridge]
and thirst
and malady
and misery
and tears

[chorus]
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
existence is resistence
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
we will not leave this land
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
existence is resistence
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
we will not leave this land

[verse 3]
now my children ask me why
the watching world is standing by
while israel creates famine
as a weapon in their war
food is used to bait a trap
unarmed the starving stumble in
desperately hoping to find aid
but all that they receive
[bridge]
are bullets
and tank fire
infanticide
and dust

[chorus]
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
existence is resistence
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
we will not leave this land
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
existence is resistence
sumud! sumud! lan narhal
we will not leave this land

[outro]
we will not leave this land
we will not leave
