Sentenced here to a long sentence,
We did not bow to their compulsion!
Living on our knees - NO!
We were born to be free.
Yes one night they came,
And our whole village - it screamed!
They pulled everyone out of the house,
and chased them out to the village.
Accused as high traitors,
they were building rooms us already the coffin.
They want to see us hang high,
our inheritance will never expire.
Even if our necks break,
you won't break our will.
The rope is constricting our throats,
but we won't stop screaming!
Now listen to me and don't look away,
even though I'm here today perish!
Avenge her deed,
burn her false seed!
Avenge us!
Hang her!
Eye for an eye and tooth for tooth,
so always in their writing,
Let them bleed, let them hang
then it is your duty!
We were then taken to the scaffold,< br/>Because we did not swear by their God.
While a man dies on a rope
His wife is ravished because of him.
So sing with us and no one dies alone!< br/>The noose was put on us,
and the executioner walked up.
But we continued to sing fearlessly
as if we were falling into the depths here!
