Lyrics
Well I’m on my way to heaven
We shall not be moved
On my way to heaven
We shall not be moved
Just like a tree, standing by the water
We shall not be moved
Chorus:
We– shall not, we shall not be moved
We– shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a tree, standing by the water
We shall not be moved
On the road to freedom, we shall not be moved…
Chorus en Español:
No, no, no, no nos moveran!
No, no, no nos moveran!
Como un arbol firme junto al rio
No nos moveran
Unidos en la lucha, no nos moveran
Unidos en la lucha, no nos moveran
Como un arbol firme junto al rio
No nos moveran
Chorus en Español
Combined Chorus
The declamation before the actual song, on the studio version by Joanie Baez is from PabloNeruda’s Canto General
Thanks for an aesthetically brilliant base for this song.
NEED THAT FOLK SONG AGAIN THESE DAYS….And perhaps others
