Friends! Please join our celebrations and raise your voice for our rights!

May Day celebrations are not only for workers but for the whole world,

Eight hours work, eight hours for rest and eight hours what we will!

Demand rights to work, get jobs, support at work and decent wages!!


People have nothing to lose if we stand in solidarity with working folks

Long live your unity to keep our human rights, work and live with respect

To remember your struggles, achievements and sacrifices you’ve made 

Trade unions would lead you all to celebrate May Day all over the world!


Forefathers toiled in fields and forests as labourers, to earn their bread.

Your parents worked hard in factories and workshops for your education,

To learn different technical skills, open up opportunities for suitable jobs!

We must work for a new world and make it happen for new generations?


You commemorate history of all struggles and gains made by our friends

Labour movements; sacrifices, strikes and boycotts to get our demands

For employment as your right; living wages, optimum work time, security,

Equal opportunities, women rights, benefits, Insurance, Health and safety!


Many rights achieved and started celebrating May Day since last century,

We celebrate Farmers Day, Labour Day, Workers Day in a fine spring day!

You can get-together this special day to host parties and picnics to enjoy,

From east to west, north to south all over the world for a united society?
