El pueblo unido [English translation]

The united people will never be defeated!

The united people will never be defeated!

Stand up and sing! A new song begins!

A new fight wins the future for us

But only united

Will we defeat the enemy

Fight with us, friend, so that we will be the victors tomorrow!

In our song

The new morning glows

Like our flag glows in the wild wind

And Chile fights! Its hate grows with the pain1

And burns skywards from the mines

From north to sourth

Moves the banner of the people's front

Unity glows, we forge it from Chile's ore

The road is clear:

People's unity!2

The people fight with hand and brain and heart

And now the people will arise

In the fight and sing

And sing with its mighty voice:

The united people will never be defeated!

The united people will never be defeated!

And Chile sings this song of the new light

Of hte new day that begins more friendly

Still red from blood,

But bright and clear and good!

Comrades, be brave! The people speak with one voice,

In our steps

Millions move along

The united people don't yield to the fascists

And Chile dances after having led the fight

It dances united, like it marches united

Fascist pack!

The day, the day will come.

The day of [our] victory, then we will take our revenge3

Forward! Onwards!

We don't lose anything

The people only lose their chains

And now the people will arise

In the fight and sing

And sing with its mighty voice:

The united people will never be defeated!

The united people will never be defeated!
