El pueblo unido jamás será vencido
(The people united will never be defeated)
Sergio Ortega and Quilapayún -- CHILE, 1973

Arise, sing
We are going to win.
Flags of unity are now advancing.
And you will come
marching next to me,
and so you'll see your song and your flag blossom,
The light of a red dawn
already announces the life to come.

Arise, fight
the people are going to win.
The life to come will be better
To conquer our happiness
and in one clamor a thousand fighting voices will rise
speaking a song of freedom.
With determination the fatherland will win.

And now the people, who are rising in the struggle
with a giant voice crying out: Forward!

The people united will never be defeated...

The fatherland is forging unity
from north to south it will mobilize
From the salt flats, burning and mineral
to the southern forests, united in the struggle and labor
they will go, covering the fatherland
Already their steps announce the time to come.

Arise, sing, the people are going to win
millions now are imposing the truth
They are of steel, an ardent battalion
taking in their hands justice and reason
Woman with fire and courage
You are already here, alongside the worker.
