On this bright morn of May’s embrace,We gather in strength, each face a traceOf toil and sweat, the dreams we weave,In fields and factories, we believe.
With banners raised, we stand as one,Our voices echo, the fight’s begun.For every hand that builds and creates,Deserves a share of the fruits of fate.
From city streets to rural plains,In unity, we break our chains.The rhythm of hammers, the songs of the free,A chorus of hope, for you and for me.
No more the silence of endless strife,Together we claim the right to life.With dignity sewn into every seam,We rise for justice, we rise for our dream.
So here’s to the workers, steadfast and bold,In stories of struggle, our truths unfold.On this May Day, let freedom ring clear,For a future where all can persevere.
