Happy May Day, word-workers of the world!
INNO DEL PRIMO MAGGIO (MAY DAY HYMN)
Pietro Gori
Come, o May, the people expect you
The free hearts salute you
Sweet Easter of workers
Come shine with the glory of the sun.
Ring out a hymn of winged hope
To the fruit of the great spring that ripens
To the vast ideal blossoming
Where lay the thrills of bright tomorrows.
The slave armies have deserted
The burned jobsites and workshops
Away from the fields, up from the seas
Seeking rest from eternal sweat.
We raise calloused hands
We are a bundle of fruitful forces
We want to save the world
From the tyrants of idleness and gold.
Youth, ideals, pain
Spring from your mysterious charm
Green May of mankind
Give courage and faith to our breasts.
Give flowers to the fallen rebels
Glancing toward the new dawn
To the strong who struggle and work
To the visionary poet who dies.
