Trad-apted from the original Catalan protest song "L'Estaca" by Lluís Llach and from the subsequent Yiddish translation by Yuri Vedenyapin. English Tradaptation of L'Estaca / Der yokh by Ariel Shapiro & Ozzy Gold-Shapiro In summer, we took to the streets, In memory of those we have lost, Gunned down by racist police And killed by a spreading disease. At times it could seem hopeless In a world struggling to breathe To march and to sing for a future Where all of us could live free... Together, we will tear it down! It may take days, or weeks, or years, but the old walls will fall, fall, fall, And a new world will be here! Ya dai dai...
