This version of "Solidaridad pa' siempre" is the combination...

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.

SOLIDARIDAD PA' SIEMPRE En las viñas de la ira luchan por su libertad, Todos los trabajadores quieren ya vivir en paz. Y por eso, compañeros, nos tenemos que juntar Con la fuerza sindical. Solidaridad pa' siempre Solidaridad pa' siempre Solidaridad pa' siempre Con la fuerza sindical. Llevaremos en la sangre la grandeza sindical – No habrá poder más grande que el obrero mundial. Compañero, si eres débil como individual, Busca la fuerza sindical. Solidaridad pa' siempre Solidaridad pa' siempre Solidaridad pa' siempre Con la fuerza sindical. Más que'l oro atesorado es el poder gremial; Más fuerte que un ejército con tremendo arsenal. Crearemos nueva vida en el campo laboral Con la fuerza sindical. Solidaridad pa' siempre Solidaridad pa' siempre Solidaridad pa' siempre Con la fuerza sindical. Vamos, vamos compañeros los derechos a pelear Con el corazón en alto y con fe en la unidad Que la fuerza de los pobres como las olas del mar La injusticia va a inundar. Solidaridad pa' siempre Solidaridad pa' siempre Solidaridad pa' siempre Con la fuerza sindical.
