Ohé, partisans, ouvriers et paysans, c’est l’alarme. Ce soir l’ennemi connaîtra le prix du sang et les larmes. Montez de la mine, descendez des collines, camarades ! Sortez de la paille les fusils, la mitraille, les grenades. Ohé, les tueurs à la balle et au couteau, tuez vite ! Ohé, saboteur, attention à ton fardeau : dynamite... C’est nous qui brisons les barreaux des prisons pour nos frères. La haine à nos trousses et la faim qui nous pousse, la misère. Il y a des pays où les gens au creux des lits font des rêves.
