Apéndice G: Solidarity Forever

Solidarity Forever (Solidaridad por Siempre) se ha convertido en el himno extraoficial del movimiento obrero estadounidense. Fue escrito en 1915 por Ralph Chaplin, poeta, escritor y organizador de Los Trabajadores Industriales del Mundo — Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), sindicato militante que tenía muchas canciones y se les conocía como los wobblies por el sonido de sus siglas en inglés. (Solidaridad por Siempre, porque al sindicato unidos somos fuertes).

  1. When the union’s inspiration through the workers’ blood shall run,
    There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun.
    Yet was force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?
    But the union makes us strong.

    Coro:

    Solidarity forever!
    Solidarity forever!
    Solidarity forever!
    For the union makes us strong.
  2. They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
    But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel could turn.
    We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
    That the union makes us strong.
  3. In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold.
    Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousand fold.
    We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old,
    For the union makes us strong.
