China: March of the Volunteers

Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves!

Let us amount our flesh and blood towards our new Great Wall!

The Chinese nation faces its greatest peril,

The thundering roar of our peoples will be heard!

  

Arise! Arise! Arise!

We are many, but our hearts beat as one!

Selflessly braving the enemy's gunfire, march on!

Selflessly braving the enemy's gunfire, march on!

March on! March on! on!

 

Cuba: La Bayamesa

People of Bayamo

rush to the battle

our homeland watches you proudly

don't be afraid of a glorious death

because to die for the homeland is to live.

 

To live with chains is to live

with dishonour and ignominy

listen to the sound of the clarion

Rush to combat, braves!

 

 

Algeria: Qasaman (We Pledge)

image?id=64021&rendTypeId=4

 

1. We swear by the lightning that destroys,

By the streams of generous blood being shed,

By the bright flags that wave,

Flying proudly on the high djebels,

That we are in revolt, whether to live or to die,

We are determined that Algeria should live,

So be our witness -be our witness -be our witness!

 

2. We are soldiers in revolt for truth

And we have fought for our independence.

When we spoke, nobody listened to us,

So we have taken the noise of gunpowder as our rhythm

And the sound of machine guns as our melody,

We are determined that Algeria should live,

So be our witness -be our witness -be our witness!

 

3. Ô France! Past is the time of palavers

We closed it as we close a book Ô France!

The day to settle the accounts has come!

Prepare yourself! Here is our answer!

The verdict, our Revolution will return it

We are determined that Algeria should live,

So be our witness - be our witness - be our witness!

 

4. From our heroes we shall make an army come to being,

From our dead we shall build up a glory,

Our spirits shall ascend to immortality

And on our shoulders we shall raise the Standard.

To the nation's Liberation Front we have sworn an oath,

We are determined that Algeria should live,

So be our witness -be our witness -be our witness!

 

5. The cry of the Fatherland sounds from the battlefields.

Listen to it and answer the call!

Let it be written with the blood of martyrs

And be read to future generations.

Oh, Glory, we have held out our hand to you,

We are determined that Algeria should live,

So be our witness -be our witness -be our witness!

 

 

Vietnam: Tien quan ca (March to the Front)

flag_vietnam.jpg

 

Soldiers of Vietnam, we go forward,

With the one will to save our Fatherland,

Our hurried steps are sounding on the long and arduous road.

Our flag, red with the blood of victory, bears the spirit of our country.

The distant rumbling of the guns passes over the bodies of our foes.

 

Overcoming all hardships, together we build our resistance bases.

Ceaselessly for the people's cause let us struggle,

 

Let us hasten to the battle-field!

Forward! All together advancing!

Our Vietnam is strong, eternal.

Soldiers of Vietnam, we go forward!

 

The gold star of our flag in the wind

Leading our people, our native land, out of misery and suffering.

Let us join our efforts in the fight for the building of a new life.

 

Let us stand up and break our chains

For too long have we swallowed our hatred.

Let us keep ready for all sacrifices and our life will be radiant.

Ceaselessly for

the people's cause let us struggle,

 

Let us hasten to the battle-field!

Forward! All together advancing!

Our Vietnam is strong, eternal.

 

Albania: Hymni i Flamurit (Hymn to the Flag)

Albania_flag.gif

 

United around the flag,

With one desire and one goal,

Let us pledge our word of honour

To fight for our salvation

 

CHORUS

Only he who is a born traitor

Averts from the struggle.

He who is brave is not daunted,

But falls - a martyr to the cause.

 

With arms in hand we shall remain,

To guard our fatherland round bout.

Our rights we will not bequeath,

Enemies have no place here.

 

CHORUS

For the Lord Himself has said,

That nations vanish from the earth,

But Albania shall live on,

Because for her, it is for her that we fight.

 

 

Chechnya*

We were born at night when the she-wolf whelped,

In the morning, to lion's deafening roar, were named.

 

There are no gods save Allah.

In eagles' nests our mothers nursed us,

To tame wild bulls our fathers taught us.

There are no gods save Allah.

 

Our mothers raised us to dedicate ourselves to our sacred land,

And if they need us we're ready to fight the oppressive hand.

There are no gods save Allah.

We were born and grew up free as the mountain eagles,

With dignity and honour we always overcome hardship and obstacles.

There are no gods save Allah.

 

Granite rocks will sooner fuse like lead,

Than we will lose our honour in life's struggles.

There are no gods save Allah.

Earth will sooner be swallowed up by the broiling sun,

Than we emerge from a trial in life without our honour!

There are no gods save Allah.

 

Never will we submit and become slaves,

Death or freedom, for us there's only one way.

There are no gods save Allah.

Our sisters' songs will cure our wounds,

Our beloved's eyes will supply the strength of arms.

There are no gods save Allah.

 

If hunger weaken us, we'll gnaw on roots,

And if thirst debilitates us, we'll drink dew.

There are no gods save Allah.

For we were born at night when the she-wolf whelped.

 

God, Nation and Vainakh homeland.

There are no gods save Allah.

 

* Heeska xornimada iyo calanka way is leeyihiin.

 

Eritrea

flag-Eritrea-lg.gif

 

Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea,

Her enemy decimated

And her sacrifices vindicated by liberation.

Steadfast in her goal,

Symbolising endurance,

Eritrea, the pride of her oppressed people,

Proved that the truth prevails.

 

CHORUS:

Eritrea, Eritrea

Holds her rightful place in the world.

 

 

Uruguay: Orientales, la Patria o la tumba! (Uruguayans, the Fatherland or Death!)

flag-of-uruguay.jpg

 

Eastern landsmen, our country or the grave!

Freedom, or with glory to die.

Eastern landsmen, our country or the grave!

Freedom, or with glory to die.

 

This is the vow that our souls take

And which we know how, courageously, to fulfil,

This is the vow that our souls take

And which we know how, courageously, to fulfil,

Know how to fulfil,

This is the vow that our souls take

 

And which we know how, courageously, to fulfil,

Know how to fulfil!

Know how to fulfil!

Know how to fulfil!

 

Freedom, freedom, eastern landsmen,

This cry saved our country,

Inflaming its brave men

With enthusiasm in fierce battles.

Freedom, freedom, eastern landsmen,

This cry saved our country,

Inflaming its brave men

With enthusiasm in fierce battles.

We merited the glory of this sacred gift.

 

Let tyrants tremble!

Let tyrants tremble!

Let tyrants tremble!

 

Ah, in the fight we shall clamour for freedom

And, dying still cry for it,

And, dying still cry for it,

Still cry for it,

Still cry for it.

"Who will deny that thirty years of my life have been spent knocking in vain, patiently, moderately, and modestly at a closed and barred door? What have been the fruits of moderation? The past thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws restricting our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all." Nelson Mandela
