Lads, Rise Up!


Lads, rise up!
Let's get on the streets.
Women and men
with rifles on our shoulders.
Always faithful
to the red banner
to the trumpet, next to us
that's calling us.

Raze the foundations
of palaces and thrones
of heavy chains, scarlet robes and laws
shame to the worker, shame to the slave
who doesn't drown such a life in blood.

Forward, let us crush tyrants and fascists
become builders of the New Greece
shame to the youth who doesn't join the battle
for popular power, for honest life.

Paris and Moscow, deeply honored
Athens, Barcelona, bathed in blood
they are sending us messages, they are sending us cries
Forward, revolutionaries, for glorious victories
they are sending us messages, they are sending us cries
Forward, revolutionaries, forward, communists!

Musical version: Mikis Theodorakis

Lyrics: Unknown (different versions of rebel song)
Transl. by Lenin Reloaded
