(Words and Music by Joan Baez) | |
Bangladesh, Bangladesh | |
Bangladesh, Bangladesh | |
When the sun sinks in the west | |
Die a million people of the Bangladesh | |
The story of Bangladesh | |
Is an ancient one again made fresh | |
By blind men who carry out commands | |
Which flow out of the laws upon which nation stands | |
Which is to sacrifice a people for a land | |
Bangladesh, Bangladesh | |
Bangladesh, Bangladesh | |
When the sun sinks in the west | |
Die a million people of the Bangladesh | |
Once again we stand aside | |
And watch the families crucified | |
See a teenage mother's vacant eyes | |
As she watches her feeble baby try | |
To fight the monsoon rains and the cholera flies | |
And the students at the university | |
Asleep at night quite peacefully | |
The soldiers came and shot them in their beds | |
And terror took the dorm awakening shrieks of dread | |
And silent frozen forms and pillows drenched in red | |
Bangladesh, Bangladesh | |
Bangladesh, Bangladesh | |
When the sun sinks in the west | |
Die a million people of the Bangladesh | |
Did you read about the army officer's plea | |
For donor's blood? It was given willingly | |
By boys who took the needles in their veins | |
And from their bodies every drop of blood was drained | |
No time to comprehend and there was little pain | |
And so the story of Bangladesh | |
Is an ancient one again made fresh | |
By all who carry out commands | |
Which flow out of the laws upon which nations stand | |
Which say to sacrifice a people for a land | |
Bangladesh, Bangladesh | |
Bangladesh, Bangladesh | |
When the sun sinks in the west | |
Die a million people of the Bangladesh | |
