Arbeiterchor - Arbeiter von Wien video - The Communist Party

We are the builders of the coming world,
We are the sower, the seed and the field,
We are the reapers of the next reaping,
We are the future and we are the deed.

So fly, you flaming, red banner,
preceded the path which we draw.
We are the future of faithful fighters,
We are the workers of Vienna!
(x2)

Lord of the factories, gentlemen of the world,
finally is your rule like (?)
We, the army, which creates the future,
spring the bind confining arrest (?)

So fly, you flaming, red banner,
preceded the path which we draw.
We are the future of faithful fighters,
We are the workers of Vienna!
(x2)

As their lies and slander encircles us,
defeating all that rises the spirit (?)
Dungeons and iron that break power (? wtf)
When we are preparing for the final battle.

So fly, you flaming, red banner,
preceded the path which we draw.
We are the future of faithful fighters,
We are the workers of Vienna!
(x2)

A popular variant of the song "The Red Army is the Strongest", "Die Arbeiter von Wien," was written by Fritz Brügel in 1927. It became popular through its use by Austrian socialists/Communists who fought the Dollfuss regime in the short-lived Austrian Civil War in February 1934
