more Hiroshima
COME AND STAND AT EVERY DOOR
sung by Pete Seeger

words in Turkish by Nazim Hikmet, English translation by Jeanette Turner. Tune "The Great Silkie" attributed to James Waters
in the digital tradition under the title HIROSHIMA

origins and DT correction thread also includes Yüksel Pazarkaya's German translation, set to a tune by Zulfu Livaneli; and links to recordings in Greek and Japanese as well.

I'm only seven though I died
In Hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow
