Solidarity Lyrics

Solidarity lyrics

(by B. Brecht, M. Balin, M. Cummings)

Translated by H. R. Hays



People of the world together

Join to serve the common cause

So it feeds us all forever

See to it that it's now yours



Forward without forgetting

Where our strength can be seen now to be

When starving or when eating

It's forward not forgetting our solidarity



Black or white or brown or yellow

Leave your old disputes behind

Once you start talking to your fellow men

You'll soon be of one mind



If we want to make this certain

We'll need you and your support

It's yourselves you'll be deserting

If you rat on your own sort



Forward without forgetting

Where our strenght can be seen now to be

When starving or when eating

It's forward not forgetting our solidarity



All the gang of those who rule us

Hope our quarrels never stop

Helping them to split and fool us

Just so they can remain on top



Forward without forgetting

Till the concrete question is hurled

When Starving or when eating



Whose tomorrow

Is tomorrow

And whose world

Is the world

Solidarity
