Solidarity Song by Bertolt Brecht

Peoples of the world, together
Join to serve the common cause!
So it feeds us all for ever
See to it that it's now yours.

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

Black or white or brown or yellow
Leave your old disputes behind.
Once start talking with your fellow
Men, you'll soon be of one mind.

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

If we want to make this certain
We'll need you and your support.
It's yourselves you'll be deserting
if you rat your own sort.

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

All the gang of those who rule us
Hope our quarrels never stop
Helping them to split and fool us
So they can remain on top.

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

Workers of the world, uniting
Thats the way to lose your chains.
Mighty regiments now are fighting
That no tyrrany remains!

Forward, without forgetting
Till the concrete question is hurled
When starving or when eating:
Whose tomorrow is tomorrow?
And whose world is the world?

बेर्टोल्ट ब्रेष्ट की कविता - सभी अफ़सर उनके ...


वो सब कुछ करने को तैयार
सभी अफसर उनके
जेल और सुधार-घर उनके
सभी दफ़्तर उनके
                        कानूनी किताबें उनकी
                        कारखाने हथियारों के
                        पादरी प्रोफ़ेसर उनके
                        जज और जेलर तक उनके
                       सभी अफसर उनके
अखबार, छापेखाने
हमें अपना बनाने के
बहाने चुप कराने के
नेता और गुण्डे तक उनके
                       एक दिन ऐसा आयेगा
                       पैसा फिर काम न आएगा
                       धरा हथियार रह जायेगा
                       और ये जल्दी ही होगा
                       ये ढाँचा बदल जायेगा
                               ये ढाँचा बदल जायेगा
                                           ये ढाँचा बदल जायेगा
