Da questa pagina tedesca dedicata allo sciopero della fame del 1981. Si veda anche l'omonima e più famosa ballata anonima.
Oh Irishmen remember well
Our heroes who in action fell
And those who died in the prison cell
Like Bobby Sands from Belfast

An Irish soldier to the last
A criminal he would not be classed
And so began a long day fast
Of Bobby Sands from Belfast

So proud Britania hide your face
Throughout the world you are disgraced
How many more must take the place
Of Bobby Sands from Belfast

The gallant Hughes from Derry´s hills
He fought against the time and his will
O´Hara and McCreesh you´ve killed
Like Bobby Sands from Belfast

And the world will never understand
Why you deny their just demands
A lingering death with your heartless blends
Or those like Sands from Belfast

Now Brittania, all the world must know
how England treats a helpless man
Your British justice, it is laid low
Like Bobby Sands from Belfast

So proud Britania hide your face
Throughout the world you are disgraced
How many more must take the place
Of Bobby Sands from Belfast

La versione basca

Begira mendira, kantua entzuten da
Askatasunaren oihartzuna,
kartzeletatik guregana.
Umetako ametsak,
inoiz lortu ez direnak
Baina bidean gelditu diren denak
Benetan merezi dutenak.
Bobby Sandsek zioen moduan
helduko da azken eguna
Gure haurren irribarrea,
izango da mendekua.

Jaso da mezua
iritsi da gure eguna
Gudari lagun eta senideak
badatoz irrintzi artean.

Bobby Sandsek zioen moduan
helduko da azken eguna
Gure haurren irribarrea,
izango da mendekua.
