Перевод песни

Песня: Have You Been to Jail for Justice
Was it Cesar Chavez or Rosa Parks that day?
Some say Dr. King or Ghandi set them on their way
No matter who your mentors are, it's pretty plain to see
That if you've been to jail for justice, you're in good company

Have you been to jail for justice?
I want to shake your hand
'Cause sitting in and laying down
Are ways to take a stand
Have you sung a song for freedom
Or marched that picket line?
Have you been to jail for justice?
Then you're a friend of mine

Hey, you law abiding citizens, come listen to this song
Laws are made by people and people can be wrong
Once unions were against the law, but slavery was fine
Women were denied the vote while children worked the mine
The more you study history, the less you can deny it
A rotten law stays on the books 'til folks with guts defy it!

Have you been to jail for justice?
I want to shake your hand
'Cause sitting in and laying down
Are ways to take a stand
Have you sung a song for freedom
Or marched that picket line?
Have you been to jail for justice?
Then you're a friend of mine

Well the law is supposed to serve us, and so are the police
But when the system fails it's up to us to speak our piece
We must be ever vigilant for justice to prevail
So get courage from your convictions, let 'em haul you off to jail!

Have you been to jail for justice?
I want to shake your hand
'Cause sitting in and laying down
Are ways to take a stand
Have you sung a song for freedom
Or marched that picket line?
Have you been to jail for justice?
Then you're a friend of mine

Have you been to jail for justice
Have you been to jail for justice
Have you been to jail for justice
Then you're a friend of mine

Перевод песни:
Ты попадал за решетку за борьбу за справедливость?

В тот день, было ли это влияние Сезара Чавеса или Розы Паркс?
Кто-то говорит, что их сподвигли на это доктор Кинг или Ганди.
Неважно, кто твои вдохновители, всё довольно очевидно:
Если ты попадал за решетку за борьбу за справедливость, ты в хорошей компании.

Ты попадал за решетку за борьбу за справедливость?
Я хочу пожать тебе руку,
Ведь сидячая демонстрация, ненасильственный протест –..... [открыть перевод]
