1
Nodding though, the lamp's lit low, nod for passers underground
2
To and fro, she's darning and the land is weeping red and pale
3
Weeping yarn from Algiers, weeping yarn from Algiers
4
Weaving though, the eyes are pale, what will rend, will also mend
5
The sifting cloth is binding and the dream she weaves will never end
6
For we're marching toward Algiers, for we're marching toward Algiers
7
Lullaby though, baby's gone, lullaby a broken song
8
Oh, the cradle was our call, when it rocked we carried on
9
And we marched on toward Algiers, for we're marching for Algiers
10
We're still marching for Algiers, marching, marching for Algiers
11
Not to hail a barren sky, sifting cloth is weeping red
12
The mourning veil is waving high a field of stars and tears we've shed
13
In the sky a broken flag, children wave and raise their arms
14
We'll be gone but they'll go on and on and on and on and on
