Lyrics:
Earth awake ! arise from slumber !
Soon comes the daybreak of rebirth.
We lift again thy trampled banners,
Our marching legions shake the earth.
We gather from thy lanes and cities,
With men of action at our head.
In us division and delusion,
And all hypocrisies are dead.
We follow Humanism and the Sun,
We fight for freedom and for bread !
We bring a saving Revolution,
We are a-weary of deceit.
We will avenge the long betrayal,
We will acknowledge no defeat.
We breathe the spirit of our fathers,
As dauntless and as proud as they.
Overthrow the tyranny of falsehood --
The powers of darkness and decay !
We will be victors of to-morrow,
Who are the victims of to-day !
Earth, assert thine ancient honour,
Which never knew a foreign yoke.
Oh, turn thy face toward the future ;
Thy life and strength are in thy folk.
If nature to herself be faithful,
And each man to his fellow true,
Though all the world come forth against us,
We even yet shall make them rue.
We'll build a country fit for heroes,
With courage fresh and splendour new.
