based on an English version by Aron Cremer

Never say there's only death for you
Though leaden clouds are hiding skies of blue
Because the hour we hungered for is near;
Beneath our tread earth trembles: we are here!
From lands of palms to distant wastes of snow
We're coming with our torment and our woe,
And everywhere our blood has stained the earth,
Our bravery, our vigor blossom forth!
The morning sun shall set our day aglow,
Our yesterdays shall vanish with the foe,
And if time drags before the sun appears,
This song shall be a signal through the years.
We wrote this song with blood, and not with lead;
It's not a song that birds sing overhead.
It was a people at the barricades
Who sang this song with pistols and grenades.
So never say there's only death for you,
Though leaden clouds are hiding skies of blue
Because the hour we hungered for is near;
Beneath our tread earth trembles: we are here!
