As a shortwave radio enthusiast in the 1970's I became very familiar with Radio Prague's interval signal. Most shortwave stations use a short musical signature to make them more easily identifiable; Radio Prague's was from a song "Kupředu levá, zpátky ni krok" ("Forward, left, not a step back"). I went looking for the song and found this Youtube video; then I went looking for the lyrics. The song is on sovmusic.ru, but no lyrics. I found http://rudoarmejec.narod.ru/texty/cent/kupredu_zpatky_ni_krok.htm, which is in Czech, and Google translates it thus:



Forward, back it up

Music: John Seidl
Words: Frederick Bobek

First stanza:
It smells rozvil time and hopes
freedom, sun, rain falls from clouds.
|: Forward comrades, behold, the promised land
where there is no lords nor beggars: |
Where peace of heaven overhead spans,
where man is wolf to man.
|: Forward comrades to the Promised Land,
the poor man vainly sought for ages: |

Chorus:
The crowd in the heart of their faith Unite,
man by man, by the side of the hip,
we we come, we we come!
It's time, it's time, each of us to work your arm lift,
where for example a force in nature, there moves the world!
The crowd in the heart of a solid block!
|: Forward, left, forward, left, back it up: |

Second verse
The party is, who is deaf and blind,
who does not go with people that are coming back.
|: Forward comrades, behold, from the eastern steppes,
We have spring wind hits the sails: |
Now work in unison Shake hands
song and let people touch the stars!
|: Higher lift up flag of the Revolution,
against the enemies of the steel fist |

(Other option:
|: Forward comrades - behold flag of the Revolution,
against the enemies of the steel fist: |)

If man is wolf to man, it must be time time to work your arm-lift. :-)

Gotta love Google Translate.
