Again the blood-red banners are fluttering!Freedom’s holy voice is ringing!Again the people are remindedOf the fighters who lived and died for them!In world history again we willTurn over and find the page of martyrsWhich is still fresh with the blood of our brothers,Murdered by money-sacks, church and state!Five spirits stained with blood will hoverOver the people’s-tribune among suffering slaves;And they will give us invincible courageTo live and die for freedom and justice!They will remind us of the willWhich they left for the workers:"Fight for your freedom! No evil beastShould drive you away from the holy post!""Don’t be afraid of the hangmen and their gallows!Fight and ring the freedom-bell!And announce to the slaves of all the worldThat that very day would be the day of liberation!"And on both shores of the great oceanThe slaves of all the nationsWill give each other in friendship a brother-handAnd swear to annihilate chains and thrones...
