Sons of the workers unite all together
with our brothers in the south and the north
Can you not hear how mighty it roars
through out the world the words of liberty
out of the humiliating tomb of serfdom
up to an honorable and noble exploit
the yoke with the inscription “pray and forsake"
for a long time oppressed us in starvation and want
we demand back our dignity as humans
and fight for justice, liberty and bread
(again: we demand back...)
2.
Never has nature brutally drawn up
boarders that separate the poor from the rich
the mighty have heartlessly violently taken
all of the bounties just like a beast.
Against the disastrous statue of the gold calf
lets fight with ardent feelings and courage!
Jauntily against oppression a defense we are building
The watchword goes through out the nations like this:
“Join in together under our flag of unity
don’t get discouraged and the victory is ours!”
Wondering how popular this is in Sweden.
Another song I found:
The worker's flag is deepest red
It shrouded oft our martyred dead
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold
Their life-blood dyed its every fold
Then raise the scarlet standard high!
Beneath its folds we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here
Look 'round, the Frenchman loves its blaze
The sturdy German chants its praise
In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung
Chicago swells the surging throng
Then raise the scarlet standard high!
Beneath its folds we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here
It waved above our infant might
When all ahead seemed dark as night
It witnessed many a deed and vow
We will not change its color now
Then raise the scarlet standard high!
Beneath its folds we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here
It suits today the meek and base
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To cringe beneath the rich man's frown
And haul that sacred emblem down
Then raise the scarlet standard high!
Beneath its folds we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here
With heads uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall
Come dungeons dark or gallows grim
This song shall be our parting hymn
Then raise the scarlet standard high!
Beneath its folds we'll live and die
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
We'll keep the red flag flying here
with our brothers in the south and the north
Can you not hear how mighty it roars
through out the world the words of liberty
out of the humiliating tomb of serfdom
up to an honorable and noble exploit
the yoke with the inscription “pray and forsake"
for a long time oppressed us in starvation and want
