  • WE SHALL OVERCOME Words and Music by Zilphia Hart., Frank Hamilton, Guy Carawan
  • and Pete Seeger
  • (La melodia sembra sia stata tratta da un canto di pescatori siciliani del 17'
  • secolo, trasportata in Germania dove a diventata un inno protestante, e da qui
  • alle congregazioni “bianche” protestanti degli Stati Uniti del sud. E' stata
  • pubblicata per la prima volta come Inno negro in una versione modificata, nei
  • primi anni dello scorso secolo. Usata, nella forma attuale, negli anni ‘40 come
  • inno “sindacale” dai lavoratori degli Alimentari e del Tabacco del
  • Sud-Carolina, e successivamente dai lavoratori delle scuole popolari del
  • Tennessee. E' usata tradizionalmente per chiudere tutti i congressi
  • integrazionisti).
  • We shall overcome,
  • We shall overcome,
  • We shall overcome, some day.
  • Oh, deep in my heart,
  • I do believe
  • We shall overcome, some day.
  • We'll walk hand in hand,
  • We'll walk hand in hand,
  • We'll walk hand in hand, some day.
  • Oh, deep in my heart,
  • We shall live in peace,
  • We shall live in peace,
  • We shall live in peace, some day.
  • Oh, deep in my heart,
  • We shall all be free,
  • We shall all be free,
  • We shall all be free, some day.
  • Oh, deep in my heart,
  • We are not afraid,
  • We are not afraid,
  • We are not afraid, TODAY
  • Oh, deep in my heart,
  • We shall overcome,
  • We shall overcome,
  • We shall overcome, some day.
  • Oh, deep in my heart,
  • I do believe
  • We shall overcome, some day.
