LEFT! MARCH!

About turn! March!

Down with the talk-show!

Get out, you speakers!

Comrade Mauser,

this podium

is yours.

Down with the laws

that Adam and Eve left for us.

We will drive out the old horse of history.

Left!

Left!

Left!

Hey, bluejackets!

Clear off!

Set sail, cross the oceans!

Or is the keel

of your battleships already dull?

Let the British Lion

roar, bare its teeth in anger!

The Commune will never submit!

Left!

Left!

Left!

Look,

beyond the hills of suffering

lies the land of the rising sun.

For hunger,

for the sea of horror,

march millions, one as one!

Let them surround us,

ignore all their threats.

The Republic will stand strong against the Entente!

Left!

Left!

Left!

Has the eagle’s eye gone blind?

Can it make us fall into darkness?

Clench

your proletarian hand

on the throat of the world!

Chest out!

Deck the sky with red flags!

March boldly ahead, don’t lag behind!

Who is stepping out of line?

Left!

Left!

Left!
