Translation
Bilingual
A cotton field, a silver mine
Johannesburg to Palestine
Broken treaties, dreams deprived
We kept the little flame alive
Bobby Seale to Bobby Sands
A picket held in frozen hands
Prison cells, freedom rides
To keep the little flame alive
A hundred years, a hundred more
We throw our weight against the door
And even if we don't survive
We keep the little flame alive
Ford the river, cross the sea
A slave, a rat, a refugee
Strap the child to your side
Keep the little flame alive
Ho, Guevara, Connolly
We hid them in the scullery
A secret whispered by the wives
Kept the little flame alive
A hundred years, a hundred more
We throw our weight against the door
And even if we don't survive
We keep the little flame alive
Faye, Dolores, Bernadine
Table grapes and gasoline
Homemade rifles, kitchen knives
Kept the little flame alive
Warsaw, Tulsa, Wounded Knee
They buried us, but we were seeds
Singing from the grave, we rise
To keep the little flame alive
A hundred years, a hundred more
We throw our weight against the door
And even if we don't survive
We keep the little flame alive
Remember when they shot Joe Hill?
He spoke his last and final will
Good luck to all of you, don't cry
But keep the little flame alive
