(in english)
the people's flag is deepest red
it shrouded oft our martyred dead
and ere their limbs grew stiff and cold
their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold
then raise the scarlet standard high
within its shade we'll live and die
though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
we'll keep the red flag flying here
the people's flag is deepest red
it shrouded oft our martyred dead
and ere their limbs grew stiff and cold
their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold
then raise the scarlet standard high
within its shade we'll live and die
though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
we'll keep the red flag flying here
it well recalls the triumphs past
it gives the hope of peace at last
the banner bright the symbol plain
of human right and human gain
then raise the scarlet standard high
within its shade we'll live and die
though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
we'll keep the red flag flying here
with heads uncovered swear we all
to bear it onward till we fall
come dungeons dark or gallows grim
this song shall be our parting hymn
then raise the scarlet standard high
within its shade we'll live and die
though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
we'll keep the red flag flying here
to bear it onward till we fall
come dungeons dark or gallows grim
this song shall be our parting hymn
then raise the scarlet standard high
within its shade we'll live and die
though cowards flinch and traitors sneer
we'll keep the red flag flying here
