Kampflied gegen den Faschismus English translation
von Ernst Busch

Who pays Hitler and his Hordes?
The Mega-profiteers of the War-industry.
Their motto is murdering workers, they sing about the bloody day.
Fight back, you army of workers, strike back!

Down with the lies of the iron front, the deceivers of the proletariat
Only the Red United Front of workers, peasants and soldiers can help us.
Out of the old delusion, the united front marches
Under the red flag, which leads sickle and hammer.


Now the Reformists are crying: Hitler must not take power!
But who cleared the path for the Fascists in the first place?
Sievering banned the Red Front Fighters' League, but never the brown army.
So let's fight, send the leaders of the SPD to hell!

Down with the lies of the iron front, the deceivers of the proletariat
Only the Red United Front of workers, peasants and soldiers can help us.
Out of the old delusion, the united front marches
Under the red flag, which leads sickle and hammer.

And Hitler's hordes are looming, the Kampfbund is ready.
Then there will be an end to the killing, then another time will come!
When we, in alliance with the Soviet Union, put a stop to the executioners,
And the united force of the workers will smash the brown front!


Down with the lies of the iron front, the deceivers of the proletariat
Only the Red United Front of workers, peasants and soldiers can help us.
Out of the old delusion, the united front marches
Under the red flag, which leads sickle and hammer.
