He Was My Brother
He was my brother
Five years older than I
He was my brother
Twenty-three years old the day he died
Freedom rider
They cursed my brother to his face
Go home outsider
This town's gonna be your buryin' place
He was singin' on his knees
An angry mob trailed along
They shot my brother dead
Because he hated what was wrong
He was my brother
Tears can't bring him back to me
He was my brother
And he died so his brothers could be free
He died so his brothers could be free
Era mi hermano
Era mi hermano
Cinco años mayor que yo
Era mi hermano
Veintitrés años el día en que murió
Jinete de libertad
Le maldijeron a mi hermano en la cara
Vete a casa forastero
Este pueblo va a ser tu lugar de enterramiento
Cantaba de rodillas
Una muchedumbre furiosa siguió a lo largo
Mataron a mi hermano
Porque odiaba lo que estaba mal
Era mi hermano
Las lágrimas no pueden traerlo de vuelta a mí
Era mi hermano
Y murió para que sus hermanos pudieran ser libres
Murió para que sus hermanos pudieran ser libres
