Song to Revolution

[Xipe Totec]

companion farmers,
companion workers,
let us sing in unison
the idea from our hearts

The elderly, the adult,
the infant, and the woman,
sing the deep and joyful
song of revolution

companion farmers,
companion workers,
let us sing in unison
the idea from our hearts

The elderly, the adult,
the infant, and the woman,
sing the deep and joyful
song of revolution

It is not a song to provoke
to anger and to fight
it is the song of work
a hymn of love

an impulse of enthusiasm
that awakens every hearth
and destroys, what's necessary
to build a better place

It is not a song to provoke
to anger and to fight
it is the song of work
a hymn of love

an impulse of enthusiasm
that awakens every hearth
and destroys, what's necessary
to build a better place

Plant your feet on the ground!
your eyes gazing the blue skies,
life is marking the hour
on the human clock.

Students, farmers,
laborers in multitudes,
with the profound voice of the people

Sing to
the revolution!
Sing to
the revolution!

In the book, and the plow,
and the machinery, is our bread
the present, and the future,
the arts, science and good!

The pride of building a country,
and loving liberty.
Love is in our schools,
in the fields, and
in the workshops.

[Powers Hapgood]
