Cossack country in Ukraine -
Nikiforova Maria,
At 16 years old became
An anarchist warrior.

Robbing banks, diversions,
Chases, bombs, militias,
Out of Siberia, World War worsens,
Revolutionary missions.

Marusya 1-2-3, treads on us tyrants,
Once more, we're servants of the poor.
Marusya 1-2-3, proud and violent,
Your spirit calls to freedom's door.

Cold October breaks the back,
The people rise from weariness.
Little Marusya, all in black,
Leads the Libertarians.

Factory workers become masters,
Land is handed to the needy;
We don't need no landlord bastards,
Bloodsucking and greedy.

Marusya 1-2-3, treads on us tyrants,
Once more, we're servants of the poor.
Marusya 1-2-3, proud and violent,
Your spirit calls to freedom's door.

After many testing battles,
At last, Marusya's luck skips town.
Fascists round them up like cattle,
Fascists gun Marusya down.

Marusya 1-2-3, never fear,
Some day it'll all crash down,
In our hearts and hands right here
Lies Earth's future, grab it now!
