Hi folks, we need your help to continue this poem/song into English,
could you please?
The one line that keeps repeating itself in every paragraph should end
"Guantanamo Bay", that's all,
Song of Guantanamo Bay
We have come back from hell
Back from Guantanamo Bay
Carrying our heads off our shoulders
Holding our heads in our hands we came
Back from Guantanamo Bay
We were tortured night & day
Back in Guantanamo Bay
Till our eyes dropped from their sockets
and our hearts missed their beats
Back in Guantanamo Bay
Which awful crime had we committed?
No one answered no one said
no one near no one human
Back in Guantanamo Bay
We still prayed in utter silence
Back in Guantanamo Bay
We still kept our mother tongues
Back in Guantanamo Bay
How we prayed for our brethren
In our orange overalls
No one near no one human
Back in Guantanamo Bay
In those cells or senses shells
as time melted in eternity
no one answered no one near
Damned in Guantanamo Bay
Were you made of flesh or stone?
Were you human, was this Earth?
Executioners passed by
Back in Guantanamo Bay...
