NEVER SAY | NEVER SAY |
| |
Never say that there is only death for you, | Never say the final journey is at hand |
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue, | Never say we will not meet the Promised Land, |
Because the hour we have hungered for near; | The longed-for hour shall come, oh never fear! |
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble -- we are here! | Our tread drums forth the tidings - we are here! |
Because the hour we have hungered for near; | The longed-for hour shall come, oh never fear! |
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble -- we are here! | Our tread drums forth the tidings - we are here! |
| |
From land of palm tree to the far-off land of snow, | From land of palm-tree to the far-off land of snow, |
We shall be coming with our torment and our woe; | We shall be coming with our torment and our woe. |
And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth, | And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth, |
Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth. | Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth! |
And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth, | And everywhere our blood has sunk into the earth, |
Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth. | Shall our bravery, our vigor blossom forth! |
| |
We'll have the morning sun to set our day aglow, | We’ll have the morning sun to set our day aglow, |
And all our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe; | And all our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe, |
And if the time is long before the sun appears, | And if the time is long before the sun appears, |
Then let this song go like a signal through the years. | Then let this song go like a signal through the years. |
And if the time is long before the sun appears, | And if the time is long before the sun appears, |
Then let this song go like a signal through the years. | Then let this song go like a signal through the years. |
| |
This song was written with blood and not with lead; | This song was written with our blood and not with lead; |
It's not a song that summer birds sing overhead; | It’s not a song that birds sing overhead, |
It was a people among toppling barricades, | It was a people, among toppling barricades, |
That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades. | That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades. |
It was a people among toppling barricades, | It was a people, among toppling barricades, |
That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades. | That sang this song of ours with pistols and grenades. |
| |
Never say that there is only death for you, | So never say that there is only death for you. |
Though leaden skies may be concealing days of blue, | Leaden skies may be concealing days of blue - |
Because the hour we have hungered for is near; | Because the hour we have hungered for is near; |
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble, -- we are here! | Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble: We are here! |
Because the hour we have hungered for is near; | Because the hour we have hungered for is near; |
Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble, -- we are here! | Beneath our tread the earth shall tremble: We are here! |
