daniel kahn & psoy korolenko - vi heylik iz di natur lyrics

vi heylik iz di natur
mit ire fraye firung
emes un libe
ir tsirung, ir shmuk

mir leygn afn hartsn di rekhte hant
un shvern mitn sovest yetst
az fun toyt un fun lebn vi an ayzerne vant
ven der shverd fun emes blitst

ven eyner fun undz iz tsu shakh gevis
den tsu giftig iz der kapital
azoy vi fun dem shlang der bis

ven mit emes un libe gebundn
undzer bund iz vi a moyer shteyt fest
un di libe iz in hartsn ongetsundn
di libe fun frayhayt un mentshlikhn glik

di nekome fodert undzer blut
fun undzer blut vakst shtendik zeyer guts
guts un raykh tsien zey fun undzere beyner
akh, tsum sof tret men undz vi di shteyner

brider un shvester nemt aykh far di hent
k+mt tsu dem fayer, vu der flaker brent
mir zaynen proletaryat
dos heyst: “rabotshi narod.”
di ayzerne keytn lomir tseraysn
dem shvern yokh aruntertsushmaysn
shrayt: “narod, v’peryod, v’peryod, v’peryod.”

how holy is nature
how free is her spirit
truth is her jewel
and love her crown

we stand and we lay on our hearts our hands
and now do we truly swear
in life and in death like a wall to stand
and the sword of truth to bear

and if one of our rank is too weak to fight
from the poison of capital
it is strong as the serpent’s bite

then with truth and love united
our bond is like a great iron wall
and in our hearts is a fire ignited
a fire of freedom for one and all

our blood is calling for revenge
from blood comes all we must defend
they’ve stolen their riches from our bones
and we end up trampled like stones
brothers and sisters take each other’s hands
and come to the fire which burns and brands
we are the proletariat!
that means: “the people who work!”
our iron chains will be broken
we’ll free ourselves from our yoke and
cry: “workers, march on, march on, march on!”
