The poor are not a cowardly race,
The poor are not a cowardly race,
The poor are not a cowardly race,
To live our lives bending and bowing down!
Hey human, O mankind,
Come together and unite!
A war anthem, a brand-new victory song—
Sing a new song!
The poor are not a cowardly race,
To live our lives bending and bowing down!
Even when the white rulers ruled us,
Chorus: We remained as slaves.
Male: Even after we won our freedom,
Chorus: We only kept waiting for a new dawn.
Those of our own who rose to power
Looked out only for their own paths.
Female Chorus: While the poor living in suffering
Stood looking up at their faces.
Only the leaders keep changing here,
The results never change.
Only governments keep changing here,
Our miseries never change!
Only the leaders keep changing here,
The results never change.
Only governments keep changing here,
Our miseries never change!
If we still endure this silently, to stop it,
There will be no one for you.
If you realize and understand this,
Nothing else is needed.
The poor are not a cowardly race,
To live our lives bending and bowing down!
Hey human, O mankind,
Come together and unite!
A war anthem, a brand-new victory song—
Sing a new song!
The poor are not a cowardly race,
To live our lives bending and bowing down!
...
In numbers, we are strong,
Chorus: But in wealth, we are weak.
Male: In our hearts, we are noble,
Chorus: The finest among all human beings.
Loving the soil, we yielded the harvest,
Yet we have no land of our own.
Chorus: We brought abundance to the earth,
Yet we possess no wealth of our own.
Is poverty an inherited fate?
No god has written it that way!
If we learn how to change our paths,
There is nothing wrong in rising up!
Is poverty an inherited fate?
No god has written it that way!
If we learn how to change our paths,
There is nothing wrong in rising up!
If we correct our own mistakes,
No obstacles will stand in our way.
Let us rewrite our own destiny—
There is no greater justice than this...
The poor are not a cowardly race,
To live our lives bending and bowing down!
Hey human, O mankind,
Come together and unite!
A war anthem, a brand-new victory song—
Sing a new song!
The poor are not a cowardly race,
To live our lives bending and bowing down!
The poor are not a cowardly race,
The poor are not a cowardly race!
