This song is written and composed by Sylvie who is a student in JNU, from Germany. It stands in support of the protest movement on JNU Campus.

WE ARE JNU

If they shackle us down, we raise our voice
Cause democracy is an everyday choice.
If they beat us up and they push us around
We stand only more firmly on our ground.

Cause freedom is about right to speech –
Not the ideology that they preach.
And the stones they throw at us
We use to build new.
Cause we are JNU! We are JNU!

If they cut our voice – we’re still here to remind
That there are so many of our kind:
The neglected, the poor, the deprived, the suppressed –
We don’t fight alone and we fight for the rest!

Cause freedom is about right to speech –
Not the ideology that they preach.
And the stones they throw at us
We use to build new.
Cause we are JNU! We are JNU!

And it’s not about love for this nation – this land.
It’s proud about values for which it stands.
So don’t dare compromise our precious rights
You steer this love that compels us to fight.

Cause Freedom is about right to speech.
Not the ideology that they preach.
And the stones they throw at us
We use to build new.
Cause we are JNU! We are JNU!
