You cannot stand alone,
Against a sea of woe,
If a man should fall in Paris,
Is your blood the stronger?
Is not your freedom less?
Our only strength is Unity,
Together we stand,
Divided we fall.
And if, many years from now,
When you are old and grey,
And your enemies mass at the gate,
Who will save you if not your brother across the sea?
All men are equal,
Only those who do not love mankind would separate us,
Only those who hate you would divide us,
We are one or we are lost.
And those who blow the trumpets of Nationalism,
Would freely welcome Fascism,
If it meant they could wave their little flags,
And scream hatred at the other,
As they proclaim themselves an island.
