O'erwhelming forces of darkness prevail;
Still in the fight see advancing before us,
Red flag of liberty that yet shall prevail.
Then all of you workers
Rightly will reign,
All over the world and the land and the sea,
On with the fight for the cause of humanity!
March march you toilers, and the world shall be free!
Death to the kings and the rich parasites,
Tremble before our sacred rage;
The old order down we shall strike,
Crops of the future harvest we will.
