May Day
Today, today, yes, it’s today
The peasants’ auspicious day- the May
day
Today, today, yes today!
Sweat victoried in jubilation
Today, today, yes today!
Strikes carved laws of
industrialization
Today, today, yes, it’s today!
Bahujans’ celebration day- the May
day
Day of welfare, Day of prosper…
For the exploited by tyrannical
embroil
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
For the hands that toil and moil
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
For the gem diggers in trench and
mine
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
For the dreamers of a farmers’ reign
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
For the daily waged and raged hawkers
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
For the limb weary hard workers
Today, today, yes, it’s today
The peasants’ auspicious day- the May
day
Today, today, yes today!
Sweat victoried in jubilation
Today, today, yes today!
Strikes carved laws of
industrialization
Today, today, yes, it’s today!
Bahujans celebration day- the May day
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
For sweat droplets of backbreakers
that rested
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
For socialism triumphed, bourgeoisies
vanquished,
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
When manual laborer’s slavery
curtailed
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
When work rules, on peasants bestowed
Day of prosper, Day of welfare…
When duty hours beautifully bested
Today, today, yes today’s the day
The peasants’ auspicious day- the
Mayday
Today, today, yes today!
The joys won by sweat today
Today, today, yes today!
The laws were carved by strike this
day
Today, today, yes, it’s today!
Day of festivities for the Bahujans -
Mayday
