What a horrible picture of destruction
Reigns in the places where the Fascist hordes have fled!
How much work we will have to put in,
To restore the burnt villages,
Factories, mills and cities!
This great work was begun on an unprecedented scale:
Roads and power lines are being fixed again.
Trains are rushing to the burnt places
With machines and materials.
The warriors of army and navy are glad to know
That our people are one family,
We are all busy in economic and martial labor.
The home front isn’t waiting for the war to end:
The entire country is rushing to pitch in
In reconstructive works!
