Cada madre agobiada ya descansará,
y en nuestros brazos, sus criaturas, reposarán,
cuando el sol se pone, sobre el campo,
amor y música les brindaremos,
y las madres cansadas, ya, descansarán.

Y el campesino con su arado y su tractor
En la frente la extraña frescura sentirá
De las lágrimas de pena
derramadas por los comerciantes
Y los agricultores ya descansarán

Los trabajadores dolientes, de la tierra,
otra vez el himno tan resonante, cantarán,
ya no seremos los pobres!
Ya nos viviremos en esclavitud,
y los trabajadores luego, cantarán.

Cuando los soldados, sus garitas, dejarán,
Y en las trincheras sus uniformes quemarán,
O mi general, tus fieles tropas,
ya se habrán olvidado de ti,
¡Y la gente del mundo ya, descansará!

All the weary mothers of the earth will finally rest;
We will take their babies in our arms, and do our best.
When the sun is low upon the field,
To love and music they will yield,
And the weary mothers of the earth will rest.

And the farmer on his tractor, and beside his plow,
Will stand there in confusion as we wet his brow
With the tears of all the businessmen
Who see what they have done to him,
And the weary farmers of the earth shall rest.

And the aching workers of the world again shall sing
These words in mighty choruses to all will bring -
"We shall no longer be the poor,
For no one owns us any more,"
And the workers of the world again shall sing.

And when the soldiers burn their uniforms in every land,
And the foxholes at the borders will be left unmanned -
General, when you come for the review
The troops will have forgotten you,
And the men and women of the earth shall rest.
