Only the Irish dead listened to me

by Landa wo

Only the Irish dead listened to me
With sincere attention
And the knowledge of struggle in their heart

The Cabindan resistance fighters have fallen
The bare breasts of the widows of Landana
Cradled the horizon

The song of liberty flows away
Only the Irish dead listened to me
Because they died for their independence.
Cabinda standing
