Union Songs
One sheet of flier
- [play]
A song by Tetsuro Tanaka ©Tetsuro Tanaka
My desire and my anger are contained in this flier.
My voice and my life are contained in this flier.
The iron gate lined with barbed wire tears workers solidarity.
One sheet of flier is a small chain linking the inside to outside the gate.I fold in half. I fold in quarter. from small to secret.
hand it over hand it over hand over the fliers.
Please take it. I wish you'd take it.
I shout deep-felt words in my heart.
Please take it. I wish you'd take it.
hand it over hand it over hand over the fliers.I'll never forget I'll never forget.
my friends hands taking the fliers with smiles.
I'll never forget I'll never forget. The delight of that day.
I'll never forget I'll never forget.
My friend's cold shoulder passing by.I will never cover it up. I will never cover it up.
The sadness of that day. my feeling of sorrow
I feel delight because I am struggling.
I feel sadness because I am struggling.
