Levons-Nous!

A Song by Steve Suffet©2013 Steve Suffet

- [play]

Travailleurs, levons-nous, levons-nous!
Travailleurs, levons-nous, levons-nous!
Travailleurs, levons-nous,
We shall see the struggle through,
We shall see the struggle through,
Levons-nous!

Workers, let us rise, levons-nous!
Workers, let us rise, levons-nous!
Workers, let us rise,
Let us open up our eyes,
And let us organize,
Levons-nous!

Come hear the union's call, levons-nous!
Come hear the union's call, levons-nous!
Come hear the union's call,
And stand up proud and tall,
For we are workers all,
Levons-nous!

Let us raise the banners high, levons-nous!
Let us raise the banners high, levons-nous!
Let us raise the banner high,
And shout the battle cry,
Victory is nigh, Levons-nous!

Travailleurs, levons-nous, levons-nous!
Travailleurs, levons-nous, levons-nous!
Travailleurs, levons-nous,
We shall see the struggle through,
We shall see the struggle through,
Levons-nous!

Notes

Many thanks to Steve Suffet for permission to add this song to the Union Songs collection.

Steve writes:
"Here is yet another song for the Union Songs website. "Travailleurs, levons-nous!" is French for "Workers, let us rise!" I sing the lead vocal and play guitar, while my friend Anne Price provides the additional vocal. This song will be on my upcoming digital album, Folksinger's Fancy."
