red wedding

words: e. weinert
music: h. eisler

left, left, left, left.

drums are heard.
left, left, left, left,
working class goes.
we ask units and parties
whether they honorous in the struggle
against injustice and reaction.
we have joined through (want) poverty and hungry.
victims of fight with enemy
and our leader of revolution bind us.

refrain

red wedding greetings his comrades,

holds fists ready,
brings up the rear of red ranks.
that day will not be again.
we struggle at our front for socialism.
workers-brothers, kommunists!
rot-front! rot-front!

left, left, left, left.

fight will go on.
left, left, left, left.
villainous man who was capitulated.
we bring truth from house to house
and destroy false in climneys,
how karl marks and lenin learnt.
...
wedding will go further, and berlin will remained red.
germans od germany will hear that.

2. the later variant of this song

drums are heard.
left, left, left, left,
red wedding goes.
we bring truth from house to house!
and destroy false in climneys.
we learn our comrades.
we approach to hatred and we swear by blood.
we call with force and courage
hearts of proletarians. they will hear us.

refrain

red wedding greetings his comrades,

holds fist ready,
 holds red ranks be united.
such day will not be again.
red sun will soon flame at horizon.
rot-front! rot-front!

left, left, left, left.

villainous man who was capitulated.
left, left, left, left.
red wedding goes.
we'll get over the lifeless of our comrades.
but red wedding lives and berlin remains red.
our underground army grows (increases )and will give back freedom to people.
the fashist will feel our fist at the back oh his head.
then we'll take riffles.
