Jag går med dig [English translation]

Now when the world is changed,

and the old has become history

and it is impossible to prophesy or predict,

so they stand again on Mount Parnassus,

those who hid in the reeds

to see which direction it would go.

Those who never have worked,

those who have never taken a position,

those who always only thought about themselves,

those who exploited their contemporaries,

those who ignored our future

now have the audacity to spit on you.

But you who fought with wrath, you who fought for love

have no reason to listen to their cowardly grumbling.

You who fought for humankind, you who fought for life

know that the greatest you can sacrifice is yourself.

No one praises your success,

Everyone points out your mistakes;

It is the price you pay for your courage.

But a life without visions.

catastrophes and passions

is merely a life that is reduced to one word.

So you must continue to fight, you must fight and protest

as long as injustice is still found.

It is the world of ideas you belong to, it's the only thing you are for.

It is the only thing you can give your children.

And to you, who stand on the threshold

and will wander out in life

I want to say something that will remind you of me:

If you fight for the weak,

if you fight for the truth

I will always go by your side.
