1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
...voting rights for women

2
00:00:06,010 --> 00:00:11,000
Let us free ourselves from the shackles that the emperor and his people have put on us

3
00:00:11,010 --> 00:00:15,000
We want to speak our minds freely

4
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:18,000
we want to gather freely without fear

5
00:00:18,010 --> 00:00:24,000
We finally want to read the truth in the newspapers

6
00:00:24,010 --> 00:00:26,000
Down with the censorship

7
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:31,000
We want a police force that serves the people

8
00:00:31,010 --> 00:00:37,000
We want courts that are truly committed to justice

9
00:00:37,010 --> 00:00:41,000
And not the ruling one. We want civil servants

10
00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:43,000
Who have the wellbeing of people in mind and not the wellbeing of individuals

11
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:54,000
And that's why we're going to build a new, a just, a socialist Germany

12
00:00:54,010 --> 00:00:58,000
For a Germany without exploitation and oppression

13
00:00:58,010 --> 00:01:02,000
That lives peacefully with its neighbors

14
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:04,000
For a Germany where everyone has enough to eat

15
00:01:04,010 --> 00:01:08,000
And a decent apartment and warming clothes

16
00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:12,000
In which poor, old, and handicapped people are cared for

17
00:01:12,010 --> 00:01:18,000
And not the birth, but proficiency decides about the life

18
00:01:18,010 --> 00:01:25,000
And therefore I call upon you on behalf of the German sailors: break the power of the princes

19
00:01:25,010 --> 00:01:28,000
Seize the power in your city

20
00:01:28,010 --> 00:01:31,000
And put them in the hands of experienced men

21
00:01:31,010 --> 00:01:35,000
Yes, and also in the hands of experienced women

22
00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:38,000
Form workers and soldiers councils (Räte, soviets)

23
00:01:38,010 --> 00:01:40,000
Disarm the officers

24
00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:43,000
Seize all administrative offices

25
00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:48,000
Workers and soldiers I call you to revolution

24
00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:59,000
But workers and soldiers from Hanover do not make it like in Russia

25
00:01:59,010 --> 00:02:03,000
Murder and manslaughter do not bring good

26
00:02:03,010 --> 00:02:04,000
They desecrate the revolution

27
00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:08,000
Take over the power, but do not use violence

28
00:02:08,010 --> 00:02:12,000
Do not avenge yourselves. Do not mistreat anyone

29
00:02:12,010 --> 00:02:18,000
Do not plunder. Consider our people are suffering from hunger and deprivation

30
00:02:18,010 --> 00:02:23,000
Winter is just around the corner. The terrible flu is rampant everywhere

31
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:29,000
Whoever causes chaos in this situation plunges our country into the worst of all catastrophes

32
00:02:29,010 --> 00:02:35,000
Workers and soldiers: huge challenges are ahead

33
00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:41,000
But we are going about it with the firm belief in the bright future of socialism

34
00:02:41,010 --> 00:02:47,000
In the firm belief in a just and democratic society

35
00:02:47,010 --> 00:02:54,000
In the firm belief that our children will one day have it better than we do

36
00:02:54,010 --> 00:02:57,000
Are you fighting for this goal?

37
00:02:57,010 --> 00:03:02,000
Down with the war! (reply:) Down with the war!

38
00:03:02,010 --> 00:03:05,000
Down with the emperor!

39
00:03:05,010 --> 00:03:14,000
Long live the revolution! Long live the revolution! Long live the revolution!

40
00:03:15,010 --> 00:03:20,000
