L'INTERNAZIONALE DEL PARTITO DEMOCRATICO, di Maurizio Crozza...
The worker’s flag is deepest red,
but this song’s just a figurehead,
Cos when the people fight the state
SLab cheers for what the state dictates.

CHORUS:
Let’s raise the bloodied batons high!
Cheer as the rubber bullets fly.
Catalans may flinch and Scot nats sneer,
Labour backs the police in riot gear.

Barcelona’s bloodied under Spanish might
while the people’s party denies the right
of the people to decide their fate
and Labour hacks cheer Rajoy’s hate.

Conference songs about solidarity
only mask the cruel reality
Scottish Labour will be the friend
of the establishment right to the end

We’re Scottish Labour and what we do
is to keep Scotland’s flag red white and blue.
We may fight like ferrets in a sack
but we’ll keep the Tories on your back.
Compagni, avanti gran partito
Noi siamo dei lavoratori
Ma anche degli imprenditori
Stiamo un po' di qua e di là!
Noi non siamo più nelle officine
O nei campi a lavorar
Siamo in banca oppure alle anteprime
Oppure in chiesa per pregar!

Noi veniam da lontano
E lontano si andrà
Con stile e in aeroplano
Viaggiando in business class!
Su lottiam l'ideale
Nostro alfine sarà
Ma non è chiaro quale
Ma che importanza ha?

Viva Rosy,
Viva Walter,
Viva Franceschin...!
