Solidarity Forever
Ralph Chaplin| Original | Versió en català de Toni Giménez |
| SOLIDARITY FOREVER When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one, But the union makes us strong. Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong. Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite, Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? For the union makes us strong. Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong. It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade; Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid; Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made; But the union makes us strong. Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong. All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone. We have laid the wide foundations; built it skyward stone by stone. It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own. While the union makes us strong. Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong. They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn, But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn That the union makes us strong. Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong. In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, Greater than the might of armies, multiplied a thousand-fold. We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. | SOLIDARITY FOREVER Cantem a les persones que, amb esforç, van avançant, Cantem també a la vida que viurem si ens estimem, Cantem a les persones que caminen endavant, Cantem la veritat. Solidaritat per sempre, solidaritat per sempre, solidaritat per sempre que la unió ens fa més forts. |
