For these I shall live, and fight!

Thirty nine I have lived here

Look, there is nothing left

I have lived here

I have eaten sweet fruit here

I have drunk bitter herbs here

I have licked sand, clay, ash, salt and sugar here

Look, there is nothing left

Nothing left for me!

Six months I crawled in earth and space

One year I stamped the earth for space

Ten years I combed bushes for fruit and space

Twenty years I fought for honour, love and space

Thirty years I wrestled for honour, love, justice and space

One, twenty, thirty, thirty nine, fighting for honour, love, justice, life and space

Look, there is nothing left

Nothing left for me!

Nothing!

Thirty nine I have lived here

Look, there is nothing left

I have lived here

I have eaten sweet fruit here

I have drunk bitter herbs here

I have licked sand, clay, ash, salt and sugar here

Look, there is nothing left

Nothing left for me!

My heart swells to bust

My eyes hang to fall

My nose sniffs to clog

My mouth opens to chock

My ears flap to irritate

Look, there is nothing left

Nothing!

Thirty nine I have lived here

Look, there is nothing left

I have lived here

I have eaten sweet fruit here

I have drunk bitter herbs here

I have licked sand, clay, ash, salt and sugar here

Look, there is nothing left

Nothing left for me!

Nothing except hope

And for that, I shall live, and fight

Someday I shall have them back!
