Get up, people suffering all over the world!
Full of blood is boiling.
Fight for truth!
The old world is out of water.
Slaves, get up Get up!
Don't say we have everything.
We want to be masters of the world!
This is the last struggle
Unite until tomorrow
It must be internationalized.
There was never a savior.
Nor is he an immortal emperor.
Create human happiness
It's all on our own.
We should take back the fruits of our labor.
Let thoughts break through the cage
Let the stove burn red.
Strike while the iron is hot to succeed!
I hate those poisonous snakes and beasts.
Eat our flesh and blood.
Once they are destroyed,
The bright red sun shines all over the world.
