| Does anyone know what the beginning phrase says? It's in French, so it might need to be translated... | |

I could not find this song anywhere except a live version on Youtube. Anyway, I think that it is about white supremacy in the 1700s-1800s. "Though our fathers' fathers slept in stolen houses" seems to reference to when the pilgrims came over from England to settle on the Indian's land. But then the speaker says "All that's over now" and then leads to "we can look you in the eye and say, 'We're not afraid to die.'" He seems to say that it's in the past and forgotten. Then the speaker says "and yes, our mothers' mothers saw in black and white." He seems to be alluding to the pre and post Civil War era (1850s) where the South was very segregated and racist. But then the speaker says "but all that's over now" and in this stanza, he seems to have regret. He then says "no matter how we try we are not afraid to die." |
