[Verse 1]
The NATO ministers are crying
Listen, don't you hear it?
But their crying is no longer whispering
Listen, don't you hear it?
They cry for the profits of their war industries
And are arming for an unforeseen crusade
Their army is ready for aggression
Against you and the Soviet Union!

[Chorus]
Workers, peasants
Grasp your weapons!
Today is the sacred duty!
So that before the criminals commit their crimes
The people destroy their weapons!
Today, Socialism is a global power!
Today, the peoples are not alone!
So gather in unity
As the fight will reap rewards
And then there will be peace on Earth forever!
So gather in unity
As the fight will reap rewards
And then there will be peace on Earth forever!

[Verse 2]
The US strategists are crying
Listen, don't you hear it?
They cry for new rockets
Listen, don't you hear it?
From the Rhine, it is threatened with the sounds of war
With super-weapons, neutrons and death!
This is the modern inquisition
Against you
And the Soviet Union!
[Chorus]
Workers, peasants
Grasp your weapons!
Today is the sacred duty!
So that before the criminals commit their crimes
The people destroy their weapons!
Today, Socialism is a global power!
Today, the peoples are not alone!
So gather in unity
As the fight will reap rewards
And then there will be peace on Earth forever!
So gather in unity
As the fight will reap rewards
And then there will be peace on Earth forever!

[Verse 3]
Washington is yelling out with sanctions
Listen, don't you hear it?
Embargoes, economic punishments
Listen, don't you hear it?
They claim everything in the name of humanity
They do anything to make a profit!
It is preparing for it's darkest reaction
Against you
And the Soviet Union!
[Chorus]
Workers, peasants
Grasp your weapons!
Today is the sacred duty!
So that before the criminals commit their crimes
The people destroy their weapons!
Today, Socialism is a global power!
Today, the peoples are not alone!
So gather in unity
As the fight will reap rewards
And then there will be peace on Earth forever!
So gather in unity
As the fight will reap rewards
And then there will be peace on Earth forever!
