by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard

Être unis c’est le bout du monde
Language: French (Français) 
Être unis c’est le bout du monde
Le cœur de l’homme s’agrandit
Le bout du monde se rapproche

Le cœur des peuples bat plus fort
Le cœur des peuples bat la terre
Et la moisson sera parfaite

Notre travail et un défi
Jeté aux maîtres aux frontières
Nous voulons travailler pour nous

Nous prendrons jour malgré la nuit
Nous oublierons nos ennemis
La victoire est éblouissante

Nous avons pénétré le feu
Il faut qu’il nous soit la santé
Nous nous levons comme les blés

Et nous ensemençons l’amour.
