In this world in which we live,

We are all the same

Regardless of race or gender:

This is what, in this world, we believe.

 

In our daily lives,

Every day we see

News and documentaries on violence,

But this must end urgently in defense.

 

"Hope is the last to die."

One day this can and will end

And nothing and nobody will hold us back.

Our world will have more equality

For us and for our land.

 

We can change this.

"With order and progress":

More equality for all

And all together we will fight.

 

"All together we will fight"

Because everybody will reunite.

Through struggle and hope image,

Because this is our heritage:

 

Equality and respect

Always carry on your chest.

The hope of change.

Gender, race and also equality now:

The long-awaited happiness, for us and for all.
