Translated lyrics
brothers and sisters of toil and poverty all who are dispersed everywhere together, together, our flag is ready: waving in wrath, stained red with blood an oath, an oath on life and death! heaven and earth will hear us the bright stars will bear witness on our oath of blood and our oath of tears: we swear, we swear, we swear!
