Grup Yorum - For Soma (English subtitles)

A song made by Grup Yorum for the 301 miners killed in a mine explosion in Turkey, Soma. Lyrics: At dawn the door opens, the mine wakes up A black road stretches out, the pain of poverty inside me It is a grave that we dig, it has no end We died for food, Soma has become a quarry of grief My left and right is black smoke, even one breath cannot be taken Just because there is hunger poverty, death shouldn’t be so cheap. Our life disappears seven floors below the ground Our tears are not our fate, our day will come also The streets fill in the middle of the day for our dead The silent tongues unravel, the dead call to account The gentlemen from Ankara, we don’t need your condolences Our hands are charcoal, don’t get your clothes dirty My left and right is black smoke, even one breath cannot be taken Just because there is hunger poverty, death shouldn’t be so cheap. Our life disappears seven floors below the ground Our tears are not our fate, our day will come also
