The international organizations are not for us;
They're there to help the thieves plunder and devour.
When people who are suffering arm themselves,
Know that they are exhausted.
International medicine stays on the sidelines.
They hold meetings, they sit and they bullshit
With a glass of champagne, a nice imported wine
And that's it.
When people are under the gun all over the world,
Don't give me all that analysis
When you really don't give a damn.
What people don't want to hear is the truth.
Underdeveloped reactionaries are the most dangerous of all;
When their interests are threatened, they're always the ones
Who call for intervention against the people who are rising up.
The dominant class is very clever:
In principle they know they are the minority,
They know how to play it.
Their class position is what counts:
They'll do the impossible, they'll rampage
To eliminate the child in the womb.
We will fight until the corn is ripe, until we are free.
We take heart from the struggles of other peoples who are not afraid to die.
Their deliverance is their efforts, is in their blood that is shed.
As for the pills the doctors would like to prescribe,
They throw them away.
We salute all peoples who are fighting,
We honor all those who have died
For the cause of freedom.
As for those Haitian dogs who say they are cultured
While making a living from the suffering of refugees
At their universities, we spit in your face.
At their universities, we spit in your face.
At their universities, we spit in your face.
(Translated from Haitian Creole by Mark Dow)
