Das Banner Von Marx und Lenin [English translation]

Spring came across the Oder [river]

A sea of stars was storming

Glowing red, enraptured by flames

It smashed the exploiters' world

Yes, Red Army men stormed ahead

From Moscow to Berlin

Carrying the red flag to victory

The banner, the banner of Marx and Lenin

Their fight and death brought peace

And a new beginning

And freed us from the savagery

Has turned slaves into humans

Yes, Red Army men stormed ahead

From Moscow to Berlin

Carrying the red flag to victory

The banner, the banner of Marx and Lenin

The flag from those fighting days

Blows far across our lnd

Born by sons of the class

It clasps the thankful hand

Yes, Red Army men stormed ahead

From Moscow to Berlin

Carrying the red flag to victory

The banner, the banner of Marx and Lenin
