Into the streets May First! / Into the roaring Square! / Shake the midtown towers! / Shatter the downtown air! / Come with a storm of banners, / Come with an earthquake tread, / Bells, hurl out of your belfries, / Red flag, leap out your red! / Out of the shops and factories, / Up with the sickle and hammer, / Comrades, these are our tools, / A song and a banner! / Roll song, from the sea of our hearts, / Banner, leap and be free; / Song and banner together, / Down with the bourgeoisie! / Sweep the big city, march forward, / The day is a barricade; / We hurl the bright bomb of the sun, / The moon like a hand grenade. / Pour forth like a second flood! / Thunder the alps of the air! / Subways are roaring our milllons– / Comrades, into the square!
