Somos Sur (feat. Shadia Mansour)

You tell us we should sit down
But ideas can only lift us up
Walk, travel, not give up or go back
See, learn like a sponge absorbs
No one is extra, all are missing, all add up
All for all, everything for us

We dream big for the empire to fall
We shout it loud, there's no other way
This is not utopia, it's joyful rebellion
From the dance of those who are left over, from your dance and mine
Rise up to say: enough
Neither Africa, nor Latin America is for sale
With mud, with helmet, with pencil, stomp the fiasco
Cause a social earthquake in this puddle

All the silenced (everyone)
All the omitted (everyone)
All the invisible (everyone)
Everyone, all-all, everyone
Everyone, all-all, everyone

Nigeria, Bolivia
Chile, Angola, Puerto Rico and Tunisia
Algeria, Venezuela
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mozambique, Costa Rica
Cameroon, Congo, Cuba, Somalia
Mexico, Dominican Republic, Tanzania
Yankees out of Latin America
French, English, and Dutch, I want you free Palestine

[Shadia Mansour]
(Give me the microphone)
Music is the mother tongue of the world
It supports our existence, it protects our roots
It unites us from Greater Syria, Africa, to Latin America
Here I am with Anita Tijoux
Here I am with those who suffer, not with those who sold you
Here I am with cultural resistance
From the beginning, to victory always!
I'm with those who are against, with those who collaborated, with those who are not on our side
Long ago, I calculated, so I decided to invest in Banksy after Ban-Ki broke
As the saying goes 'the situation needs to be coined but in reality the situation needs to stop'
For every freed political prisoner, an Israeli colony grows
For every greeting, a thousand houses are shaken
They use the press so they can manufacture
But when my sorrow is condemned, reality shows up

Plunder, trample, colonization, Matías Catrileo, Wallmapu
A thousand times we will overcome, from sky to ground, and from ground to sky
come on, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jumping
White Horse, return to your town
we are not afraid we have life and fire
fire in our hands, fire in our eyes
we have so much life, and even strength in red
Little Maria doesn't want your punishment
she will be liberated with the Palestinian land
We are Africans, Latin Americans
we are this south and we join our hands

All the silenced (everyone)
All the omitted (everyone)
All the invisible (everyone)
Everyone
