1. A la huelga companero
No vayas a trabajar
Déjà quieta la hêrramienta
Es la hora de luchar

Refrain: A la huelga diez
A la huelga cien
A la huelga madré Yo voy tambien
A la huelga cien
A la huelga mil
Yo por ellos madré
Y elles por mi

2. Contra el gobierno del hambre
nos vamos a levantar
todos los trabajadores,
codo a codo por el pan.

Refrain:
3. Desde el pozo y el arado*
Desde el torno y el telar
Iran los hombres del pueblo
A la huelga général

A la huelga diez...

Refrain:
4. Todos los pueblos del mundo
La mano nos van a dar
Para devolver a espana
Su perdida libertad

A la huelga diez.. .A la huelga diez.


1. Go on strike, compagneros
Don't go to work for pay
Leave your tools at home a sleeping
It is time to strike today

Refrain: A la huelga diez
A la huelga cien
Go on strike, mother, I will go and then
A la huelga cien
A la huelga mil
I'm for them, mother
and they're for me

2. Against the governors and hunger
Rise for what is right
All the workers united
Arm in arm for bread we'll fight

Refrain:
3. From the mines and the ploughs
From the lathes and mills
People from all the counties
Will go on general strike

A la huelga diez...

Refrain:
4. All the peoples round the world
No matter what the cost
They will work to give our Spain
The liberty its lost
