【JAPANESE COMMUNIST SONG】Listen! Workers of the World (听吧! 万国的劳动者) w/ ENG lyrics
LYRICS IN THE DESCRIPTION 歌词见视频介绍
聞け!万国の労働者! Listen! Workers of the World! This is, or at least used to be, a famous Japanese left-wing song. Commonly sung among Japan’s communists, socialists, name it. This is basically the Japanese equivalent of “The Red Flag“. Oh, you don’t know what’s “The Red Flag“ ? okay...
This song borrows the tune of “Blood of the Amur River“ (アムール川の流血や, there’s an English wikipedia article under the name “Amur gawa no ryuketsu ya“), the famous dormitory song of the First Higher School (today a part of the University of Tokyo), which in turn was based on the 1899 military song “Shōnan-kō“ (小楠公, about the story of Kusunoki Masatsura). It was given a new left-wing lyrics by Isamu Ōba (大場勇, a worker and socialist leader at Ikegai Iron Works) in 1922 during the Third Japanese May Day Convention, and then quickly caught on.
It is worth noting that the original song, “Blood of the Amur River,“ the 1904 “Seiro uta“ (征露歌) and the WWII Japanese military song “Infantryman’s Skills“ (歩兵の本領) all share the same tune of “Shōnan-kō“ and carry right-wing, nationalistic and imperialistic themes in their lyrics. However, despite having essentially the same music, “Listen! Workers of the World!“ is the complete opposite of those other works, calling for class struggle and workers’ rights instead of imperial expansion and militarism. This is the true power of a lyricist at work.

LYRICS
聞け 万国の労働者
轟き渡るメーデーの
示威者に起る足どりと
未来をつぐる鬨の声
汝の部署を放棄せよ
汝の価値に目醒むべし
全一日の休業は
社会の虚偽をうつものぞ
永き搾取に悩みたる
無産の民よ 決起せよ
今や廿四時間の
階級戦は来りたり
起て労働者 奮い起て
奪い去られし生産を
正義の手もて 取り返せ
彼らの力何物ぞ
我等が歩武の先頭に
掲げられたる赤旗を
守れ メーデー労働者
守れ メーデー労働者
听吧 万国的劳动者
这五一节震天的轰鸣
是示威者前进的脚步
是向未来呐喊的呼声
把你手中的工作放弃
把你内在的价值唤醒
罢工休业一整日
向社会之虚伪反击
永久剥削压榨不可忍
无产人民决起 终来到
今时今日廿四时
阶级斗争已开始
起来劳动者们 快起来
夺回失去的生产资料
正义的手段 在我们一边
他们的力量便轻如尘埃
我等步伐的先头
是那飞舞的红旗
守住它 五一节的劳动者
守住它 五一节的劳动者
Listen, Workers of the World
To the resounding furor of May Day
This is the forward march of the protesters
This is the roaring cry toward the future
Put down the work in your hands
Awaken your true merit inside
Strike for an entire day
Fight back against the society’s fake
The anger under infinite exploitation
Will only bring the Proletariat’s rise
At twenty-four hours on each day
Let us fight the war of Class
Rise up Workers, rise up
Take back our means of production
The justice’s hands, they are on our side
Then their power is nothing to fear
Leading our marching footsteps
The Red Flag is hoisted high
Guard it, Workers of May Day
Guard it, Workers of May Day
