Can you tell me dear grandfather of your childhood so far away
You can see the death of laughter in his teared eyes disarray
Then he pours his heart thereafter
of soldiers, taking the men away,
Leaving women and their children in the desert you will pay

We are the children of all the survivors justice will shine on. We are the demons of all the deniers justice will shine on.

Can you tell me dear grandmother of your childhood from hunger and pain
Of the orphans you called brothers in her teared eyes disarray
Can you tell me my grandson she said why this country won’t recognize that day
Of the genocide of your fathers
Believe me, grandma they will pay

We are the children of all the survivors justice will shine on. We are the demons of all the deniers justice will shine on
We are the children of all the survivors justice will shine on. We are the demons of all the deniers justice will shine on

We’ll never let you forget the past of the children that cannot grow
You will pay with a million and a half regrets of the atrocities that you sow
Their only crime was life
Their only guilt was being
During a time of strife
Of massacre and bleeding
Their only crime was life
Their only guilt was being
During a time of strife
Of massacre and bleeding

But we must never stop to strive
For our rights we must stop bleeding
We’ll never let you forget the past
Of the children that cannot grow
We’ll never let you forget the past
Of the Genocide that you sow

Can you tell me dear grandfather of your childhood so far away
