Giving It with the Hammer

Con El Martillo Dando

"Giving it with the hammer""con el martillo dando"
And not swallowing the smokeY no tragar el humo
"Giving it with the hammer, buddy""con el martillo dando compañero"
We are more than oneQue somos más que uno
"Giving it with the hammer""con el martillo dando"
And not letting ourselves be hitY no dejarse dar
"Giving it with the hammer, buddy""con el martillo dando compañero"
Making ourselves respectedHacernos respetar

If the student stands upSi el estudiante se para
For the universityPara la universidad
And if the worker stands upY si se para el obrero
The city stopsSe detiene la ciudad

But if we march togetherPero si marchamos juntos
This unjust world will stopEste mundo injusto se detendrá
But if we march togetherPero si marchamos juntos
This unjust world will stopEste mundo injusto se detendrá

It's true that the wordEs verdad que la palabra
Like a hammer risesCual martillo se levanta
And they even say that a single oneY hasta dicen que una sola
Can bring down wallsPuede acabar con murallas

But today history tells usPero hoy nos dice la historia
That without action, there is no progressQue sin acción no se avanza
But today history tells usPero hoy nos dice la historia
That without action, there is no progressQue sin acción no se avanza

I sing to the peasantYo le canto al campesino
To the worker and artisanAl obrero y artesano
You can't be a friendNo se puede ser amigo
Without knowing how to shake handsSin saber darse la mano

A long way is being wonUn largo trecho se está ganando

The homeland is being soldLa patria la están vendiendo
With waste and corruptionCon derroche y corrupción
But the eyes of the peoplePero los ojos del pueblo
They can no longer cover themYa no los podrán tapar

What Bolivar knew how to winLo que bolívar supo ganar
And today they unite defendingY hoy se une defendiendo
What Bolivar knew how to winLo que bolívar supo ganar
