Simon's Song (We fought courageously)

from The Seagull (Original Songs) by Anaís Azul

/

lyrics

History, will you mention us
In your faded scrolls?
We worked in factories, fields, and offices -
Our names were not well known.

Will you at least be grateful
We fattened you with news,
And slaked your thirst so richly
With the blood of slaughtered crowds?
You'll lose the human focus
To view the panorama,
And no one will remember

The simple human drama.

No one will remember
the simple human drama

We kicked the table over,
Ran out the door, and there
In the open felt the stirring
Of something bright and fair.
For the hardship and affliction
We do not seek rewards,
Nor do we want our pictures
In the calendar of years.
Just tell our story simply

To those we shall not see,
Tell those who will replace us -
We fought courageously
We fought courageously!

To those we shall not see,
Tell those who will replace us -
We fought courageously
We fought courageously!
