1. Avanti popolo, alla riscossa
Cho 1: Bandiera rossa la trionfera'
2. Avanti popolo, tuona il cannone [or: Avanti popolo, alla stazione]
Cho 2: Rivoluzione noi vogliamo far (three times)
3. Degli sfruttati l'immensa schiera
Cho 3: As Cho 1, but last line is:
4. Dai campi al mare, alla miniera Cho 4: last line is Soltanto il socialismo e' vera liberta'
5. Non piu' nemici, non piu' frontiere Cho 5: Nel socialismo solo e' pane e liberta'
6. Falange audace, cosciente e fiera
Cho 6: Chi non lavora non deve mangiar
Cho 7: Anco i signori devon lavorar
Communist use "comunismo" and "comunisti" instead of "socialismo" and "socialisti". THE RED FLAG
1. Forward, people, to redemption
Cho 1: The red flag will overcome
2. Forward people, the cannon is thundering [to the station!]
3. The immense army of the exploited ones Cho 3: The fruit of the labor to the laborers will go.
4. From the fields to the sea, to the mine, Cho 4: Only Socialism is real freedom
5: No more enemies, no more borders; Cho 5: Only in Socialism there are peace and freedom
6: Brave platoon, conscious and proud, Cho 6: Who does not work, he must not eat. Cho 7: Even the lords must work (Anco: dialect for "even") Cho 7 is popular in Leghorn and my grandma told me that was sung by a drunk Anarchist cleaning maid in her building. The landlord was not very pleased.

Which also has verses translated into English in the most ridiculous literary style. Thanks for the translation; always wondered about what was being sung besides "red flag, red flag." :-} --Larry C. |
