Will our red flag ever fall?
Will our fiery ray ever fade?
Before the arrogance of power,
He is the sun that never fears!

His writings fight the war!

Champion of equality!

Burn down all discrimination in the fire!
Drive away all cruelty!
When I stand fearless like a lion,
No one can ever make a sacrifice of us!
Every word of his shines as a bright light,
Banishing the darkness of ignorance!
Every action of his, like a storm,
Will bring down cruel tyranny!
The thirst of generations will finally be quenched!

Do not step aside calling it fate!
It will hunt you and threaten you,
Look right into its eyes and stand firm!
Even when you sow and toil hard,
It will chase and exploit you,
Awaken and watch out for yourself!
We can achieve it, do not lose it!
Do not forget that our rights are being stolen!
The keys are changing hands now,
And our handcuffs will shatter!
A fighting heart never sleeps!
