Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird
In Kamf
Mir vern gehast un getribn
Mir vern geplogt un farfolgt
Un alts nor derfar vayl mir libn
Dos oreme shmakhtnde folk
Mir vern dershosn, gehangen
Me’ roybt undz dos lebn, dos rekht
Derfar vayl mir emes farlangen
Un frayhayt far oreme knekht
Frayhayt far oreme knekht
Hated and hunted and driven
Turned out and chased from your doors
And only because we have given
Our love to the weak and the poor
We perish by lash and by firе
Your prisons and armies we fill
Our bodies alonе may expire
Our spirits you never can kill
Our spirits you never can kill
You tyrants may murder or beat us
New fighters will rise in our place
And we’ll fight, and you’ll never defeat us
We fight for the whole human race
Dokh keynmol vet undz nisht dershrekn
Gefenkenish un tiranay
Mir muzn di mentshayt dervekn
Un makhn zi gliklekh un fray
Un makhn zi gliklekh un fray
