[Intro]
[Chorus]
Oh Albania, red star that burns bright
The world s illuminate by your light
Socialism is mankind s destiny
We swear to fight til final victory
We swear to fight til final victory
[Verse 1]
Workers and peasants of Albania
And the people s intelligentsia
The PLA makes them conscious of the task:
Build socialism! The Party leads the class!
The chains are broken, new forces are released
Workers and peasants have seized their destiny
Transforming mountains, the seacoast, and the fields
Under the control the working class wields
[Chorus]
Oh Albania, red star that burns bright
The world s illuminate by your light
Socialism is mankind s destiny
We swear to fight til final victory
We swear to fight til final victory
[Verse 2]
Resisting every invasion of her land,
National traitors crushed by her hand,
It s socialism Albania defends;
Marxist principles will guide her to the end.
The mighty eagle from the battlement
Surveys the enemy encirclement.
Life and death struggle requires vigilance;
The Party arms two million soldiers for defence.
[Chorus]
Oh Albania, red star that burns bright
The world s illuminate by your light
Socialism is mankind s destiny
We swear to fight til final victory
We swear to fight til final victory
[Verse 3]
The Seventh Congress cuts through all the lies
That the opportunists in a frenzy have devised.
The Marxist-Leninists grow stronger every day
Inspired by the glorious PLA.
We must defend the socialist homeland.
It s the proletarian internationalist stand.
Led by our Marxist-Leninist communist party,
We ll end the rule of the bourgeoisie.
[Chorus]
Oh Albania, red star that burns bright
The world s illuminate by your light
Socialism is mankind s destiny
We swear to fight til final victory
We swear to fight til final victory
