Текст песни: We Survived + перевод

We survived the fires of Soma and Nagasaki

And we will survive Palestine

We survived Vietnam, Emdeni, Rwanda and Mississippi

The fifty stripes around our stars

Fifty years to life behind their bars (hmm)

We survived middle school and self-inflicted scars

Losing our mothers (losing our mothers, hmm) to our fathers' hands

We survived slavery and genocide, (hmm)

Came back from the dead and spread like wildfire

Ancestors, are you here for us?

Expect miracles

We will survive

(Hmm, hmm)

We survived stone walls and Soweto (Soweto)

The embargo, the ghetto (the ghetto)

The concrete, police beatings

The screams and their echoes (the screams and their echoes)

The cutbacks, the addictions

The droughts and the presses

Jim Crow (Jim Crow) and gas chambers

The warfare and the chain (and the chain)

The seeds from our strange fruits

Have been sprinkled across this terrain

By our angels

And everywhere we land, we gonna take root

(and everywhere we land, we’re gonna take root)

And every inch of rock, mud and sand

We gonna break through

(We're gonna break through.)

You’re here right now

I’m seein' you within my own two eyes

Sleep off all the demons that tried to take you

And you still survived (and you still survived)

And we will survive (and we will survive)

Ancestors, are you here for us?

Expect miracles

We will survive

Ancestors, are you here for us?

Expect miracles

We will survive

(Ooh, eeeey

Ooh, yeaaah

Oooooh, yeaah

Expect miracles

We will survive.)

To destroy us, they’ll have to annihilate our angels

(They'll have to annihilate our angels)

We summon the strength of all those who came before us

And all those coming (all those coming and coming, hmm)

We must weave freedom in our fingers

When the world gives us nothing

But believing, a new day is coming (a new day is coming)

A new day is coming

In my soul I know

We will survive

Everything’s gonna be alright

Ancestors, are you here for us?

Expect miracles

We will survive

Ancestors, are you here for us?

Expect miracles

We will survive

Yeah

In my soul I know

We will survive

Ancestors, are you here for us?

Expect miracles

We will survive

Ancestors, are you here for us?

Expect miracles

We will survive

Ooh yeah, yeah, ooh

We will survive

A new day is coming

Everything’s gonna be alright!

Yeah

Our ancestors

Our ancestors
