The revolution army of workers and peasants is our name,

The emblem of our banners is the sickle and ax in frame.

In the district of Kuanglu we shall not stay,

But forging ahead to Hunan without delay.

Landlord’s oppression is so heavy to bear

That all the peasants hate it and roundly swear.

Just in autumn harvest season when evening clouds pout,

Like a thunderbolt from the sky the rebellion breaks out.
