Factory






I of the March 5 forty-three
mud in the armies of Mussolini and King
mountaineers who die betrayed along the Don.

  hundred workers in every factory   
   await the sound of the siren   
   Reverberates factory machines and motors   
   the silence is louder than a thousand workers.   
 
   And then when it's time lay the tools   
   begins on the first strike in the factories of Turin.   
 
   It runs here and there a boy's voice  der  
   stops another factory are other arms on the cross.   
  And stubborn  phones ringing at the police station   
   a hierarch is the fearless but begins to be afraid.   
 
   great promise the country and the empire   
   more women dressed in black   
   alarms sounding cities to rubble.   
 
   On March 10 the newspaper in Milan   
   the appeal raises the PCI clandestine   
   fan control cops pretend to know   
   turns on the conceit of the Blackshirts   
 
   But then when it's time go out the heats   
   one hundred thousand workers go on strike because   
 
   comes a squad armed with sticks   
   does an about-face just under the blows of brick   
   and how the Nazis at Stalingrad are collapsed   
   Breda red fascists are on strike escaped.
