You can’t kill the Spirit
(départ : Do)

You can’t kill the spirit
She is like a mountain
Old, and strong,
She goes on and on, and on


Sarah’s Song
(départ: sol)
They can forbid nearly everything
But they can’t forbid me to think
They can’t forbid my tears to flow
And they can’t shut my mouth when I sing

(2: « the sun to shine » ;
3: « the flowers to grow » ;
possible d’en inventer bien sur)

 


Carry Greenham Home
(Peggy Seegers, 1999, sur la mélodie écossaise de Mairi’s Wedding)
(départ: la)

Hand in hand, the line extends
All around the nine-mile fence,
Thirty-thousand women chant,
Bring the messsage home.

REFRAIN (Chorus):
Carry Greenham home, yes,

Nearer home and far away,
Carry Greenham home.

Singing voices, rising higher,
Weave a dove into the wire,
In our hearts a blazing fire,
Bring the message home.

(chorus)

No one asked us if we cared
If Cruise should be stationed here,
Now we’ve got them running scared,
Bring the message home.

(chorus)

Here we sit, here we stand,
Here we claim the common land;
Nuclear arms shall not command,
Bring the message home.

(chorus)

Singing voices, sing again,
To the children, to the men,
From the Channel to the glens,
Bring the message home.

(chorus)

Not the nightmare, not the scream,
Just the loving human dream
Of peace, the everflowing stream,
Bring the message home.

(chorus)

Woman tiger, woman dove,
Help to save the world we love,
Velvet fist in iron glove,
Bring the message home.

(chorus)
