Labor Song #14

THE CALLING SONG

[This is not a full translation, but it gives you an idea of the lyrics.]

Hey, you, the people of the people of Russia,
Until the truthful words,
The village people, factory workers,
Starve and work the usual!

Hey, listen to a new song,
A gloomy song, stern,
From a people’s blood born,
A great grief warmed by snowballs in winter.
