Workers! Slash the fear./Yours is the naked earth./Leap hunger and death/over the deep lagoon,/and join the peasants/and those knotted to the cane./Break a million fists/against so unjust a morality!/Raise, raise your arms!

¡Obreros! Picad el miedo./Vuestra es la tierra desnuda./Saltad el hambre y la muerte/por sobre la honda laguna,/y uníos a los campesinos,/y a los que en caña se anudan./¡Rómpanse un millón de puños/contra moral tan injusta!/¡Alzad, alzad vuestros brazos!
