| IN THE STRUGGLE We are hated and driven We are tormented and persecuted And all that only because we love The poor downtrodden people. We are shot and hung We are robbed of our lives and rights Because we desire the truth And freedom for the poor slave But we won't be frightened By prison and tyranny We must awaken humanity And make it happy and free Bind us in iron chains Like bloody beasts pull us You can only kill our body But never our holy spirit Tyrants, you can't kill it It is an immortal flower Its smelling, flaming flowers Already blossom everywhere They bloom in thinking men Who love justice and light The nature blesses them For their holy fight Free the poor slaves Dying from hunger and cold And for humanity create A free, a bright world Where it won't shed tears Where innocent blood won't flow And where men like bright stars Will gleam with love and courage You can murder us, tyrants Time will bring new fighters And we will fight and fight till The whole world is set free. | IN STRUGGLE With hatred and scorn we are driven, Despised under tyrant’s cruel yoke. And this is the reason that’s given: Our love for the poor, weakest folk, Our love for the poor, weakest folk. By gun and by rope and by fire They steal our rights and our lives; Beacause of our one true desire: Freedom for the poor working slaves, Freedom for the poor working slaves. Cast us in cold iron shackles, Like beasts to destroy us you try. It’s only our bodies you’re killing, But our spirit never will die, But our spirit never will die. You tyrants can try to destroy us; New soldiers will answer the call. To battle, to battle till that day When we have brought freedom to all, When we have brought freedom to all. |
