Song zu den X. Weltfestspielen 1973
(= Wir sagen ja)
Young people everywhere,
Come from all around!
Every race and creed,
Black, white and brown!
Come to raise our voice,
Raise it loud and clear.
All our many friends they can hear.
And when the people ask us,
If with them we'll stand,
What will be our answer
From each and every land?
We'll raise our voice together
We'll sing it out so loud
For everyone to hear that in the crowd.
We'll say da, da, da, da, da,
We'll say ja, ja, ja, ja, ja
We'll say oui, oui, oui, oui, oui,
We'll say si, si, si, si, si,
We'll say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
We'll say wang, wang, wang, wang, wang,
so come on, everybody sing along
We'll say da, da, da, da, da,
We'll say ja, ja, ja, ja, ja
We'll say oui, oui, oui, oui, oui,
We'll say si, si, si, si, si,
We'll say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
We'll say wang, wang, wang, wang, wang,
so come on, everybody sing along
And when repressive voices
They start to sing their song,
They'll try to make us follow
In their many wrongs,
They'll lie, they'll bribe, they'll swindle,
They'll try to make us kill,
But nothing can be done against our will!
And when the enemies
Of all humanity
They'll ask if we'll continue
To fight their cruelties,
We'll clench our fists together
And with our arms raised high.
We'll shout our answer right up to the sky
We'll say da, da, da, da, da,
We'll say ja, ja, ja, ja, ja
We'll say oui, oui, oui, oui, oui,
We'll say si, si, si, si, si,
We'll say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
We'll say wang, wang, wang, wang, wang,
so come on, everybody sing along
We'll say da, da, da, da, da,
We'll say ja, ja, ja, ja, ja
We'll say oui, oui, oui, oui, oui,
We'll say si, si, si, si, si,
We'll say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
We'll say wang, wang, wang, wang, wang,
so come on, everybody sing along
We'll stomp our feet in rhythm,
We'll clap our hands with glee,
When the people laugh
What is it we see?
We'll tell them of the future,
The dignity of man.
Peace to everyone in every land.
Millions of our brothers
And sisters everywhere,
All progressive people
They'll start to be aware.
A peace, a love, a freedom -
A life will be our song!
So come on everybody sing along!
We'll say da, da, da, da, da,
We'll say ja, ja, ja, ja, ja
We'll say oui, oui, oui, oui, oui,
We'll say si, si, si, si, si,
We'll say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
We'll say wang, wang, wang, wang, wang,
so come on, everybody sing along
