Pulang silangan bukang liwayway Sa daigdig paglaya’y magtatagumpay Kaisipang Mao Zedong ang tanglaw Ng masa sa pagtahak Sa landas ng tagumpay. Mapulang araw sa silangan Sa bayan natin paglaya’y daratal Partido Komunista ang gabay Ng masang Pilipino Sa pagtahak ng tagumpay. Gintong sinag ng mapulang araw Maningning na sugo sa pagpuksa ng dilim Bagong Hukbong Bayan ay patalim Na itatarak ng masa Sa mapang-alipin!

Golden rays of the red sun A brilliant messenger to destroy darkness The New People's Army is a knife That the masses will thrust into the enslavers!
