When you and I unite, my sister, how big is the exploiter?

When all villages unite, my sister, what does the landlord amount to?

When farmers and workers unite, my sister, how big is the exploiter in comparison?

When we all unite, my sister, how big are these ministers (politicians) in comparison?

When workers unite, my sister, how big is the company owner in comparison?

come raise the red flag, my sister, on the red path

From the time we are little girls drinking milk, my sister,

to the time we are mothers giving milk, my sister,

however hard we worked all these years, my sister,

our lives didn't change, my sister.

Working without respite, my sister,

our lives have faded and become while like lime, my sister.

However long we work, my sister,

no god comes to rescue us, my sister.

They have raised the prices, my sister,

and the wealthy masters have become fatter, my sister.

These wealthy people, my sister,

are building bigger and bigger houses, my sister.

Ours is fertile land, my sister,

come plough it in freedom, my sister.

Any 'son' who gets in the way, my sister,

let's crush them into the mud, my sister.

come raise the red flag, my sister, on the red path,

let us join the path of the revolution, my sister.

When our sticks and sickles unite, my sister,

how big are the police people, my sister?

When our bullock carts unite, my sister,

how big is the chief minister, my sister?
