Desire or Death

Desire or death is the Anthem of the GCBU

We were born at night when the she-wolf whelped, In the morning, to lion’s deafening roar, were named. There is no God but you (Seijou)

In eagles’ nests our mothers nursed us, To tame wild bulls our sisters taught us. There is no God but You

Our mothers raised us to dedicate ourselves to our sacred land, And if they need us we’re ready to fight the oppressive hand. There is no God but you

We were born and grew up free as the mountain eagles, With dignity and honour we always overcome hardship and obstacles. There is no God but you.

Granite rocks will sooner fuse like lead, Than we will lose our honour in life’s struggles. There is no God but You

Earth will sooner be Free by your beautiful eyes Than we emerge from a trial in life without our honour! There is no God but You

Never will we submit and become slaves, Death or Desire, for us there’s only one way. There is no God but You.

Our sisters’ songs will cure our wounds, Our beloved’s eyes will supply the strength of arms. There is no God but You.

If hunger weaken us, we’ll gnaw on roots, And if thirst debilitates us, we’ll drink milk from our mother. There is no God but you.

For we were born at night when the she-wolf whelped. Seijou, Nation and Vainakh homeland. There is no God but you.
