SONG OF THE CENTURY


This is the song for the entrepreneur,
To the one who improves the product
To the farmer, to the dairyman

This is a song for the engineer,
The draftsman, the minister [govt.]
And here we'll sing it from the heart.

To the airplane planner,
To the textile worker
To the manager of the locksmith shop
To the one who casts the steel,
To the one who drills a missile
To all of these,
We sing and praise (in song)


[Refrain]
Bring a song to the worker,
Sing a song to the manufacturers
Sing praise to the exporter,
How a hundred years have passed
Bring a song to the factory,
Give respect to the production
Sing a song of great hope
For the life of industry.



Life is work, work is life
This is our bread
From generation to generation
We will be a wise,
Strong and pleasant people
All good will come to us.

This is the song of songs
Of the past century
From the time we arrived together
To the present day
So we'll walk hand in hand
Toward another century
To an independent and strong future

[Refrain]

To the work and to the craft
To the work and to the craft

[Refrain]
