Defensa de la Alegría

(original)
No te rindas, por favor, no cedas
Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda
Aunque el sol se esconda y se calle el viento
Aún hay fuego en tu alma, aún hay vida en tus sueños
No te rindas, por favor, no cedas
Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda
Porqué esta es la hora y el mejor momento
Porqué no estás sola, porqué somos cientos
Y defender la alegría como una trinchera
Defenderla del escándalo y la rutina
De la miseria y los miserables
De las ausencias transitorias y las definitivas
Y defendamos la alegría porque el día a día es ruina
Pero nuestra sonrisa no la doma el poder
Y defender la valentía de creer en utopías
Porque con alegrías solo se puede vencer
Defender la de esa familia palestina
Que duermen todos en la misma habitación
Por si a la noche cae una bomba y todo termina
No quede nadie vivo con el peso del dolor
Y ese niño palestino solo quiere jugar
Ir al cole, estudiar, ser libre para soñar
Solo quiere ser un niño normal
Y no conocer los miedos de un adulto antes de ser su edad
Y defendamos la alegría de ese nieto
Que busca bajo el suelo los restos de dignidad
De ese abuelo que el fascismo hizo preso
Y fue fusilado al alba mientras gritaba 'no pasaran'
Y defendemos la alegría a pesar que los asesinos hoy gobiernan el estado
Y que ganaron la guerra ellos nos dirán pero humanamente quizá nosotros la
hayamos ganado
No te rindas, por favor, no cedas
Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda
Aunque el sol se esconda y se calle el viento
Aún hay fuego en tu alma, aún hay vida en tus sueños
No te rindas, por favor, no cedas
Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda
Porqué esta es la hora y el mejor momento
Porqué no estás sola, porqué somos cientos
Y defender la alegría como una bandera
Que no te hace prisionera, que no cree en dioses ni fronteras
Defendamos perseguir nuestras quimeras
Porque hacen falta locos, hacen falta majaderas
Y defendamos la alegría como un derecho
Como el derecho a pan, a trabajo y a techo
Como un derecho que nos niegan
Pero si no llega iremos con todas nuestras fuerzas a cogerlo
Y defendamos la alegría del que sube andamios
Y a los 50 ya no puede casi andar
Y defendamos la alegría del minero
Que se juega la vida por llevar a casa pan
Y defendamos la alegría de esa camarera
Que aguanta abusos de su jefe y de clientes
Con dolores de tobillos y cadera
Pero por su familia lo hace siempre sonriente
Y defendamos la alegría de ese preso
Que por su ideología le niegan la libertad
Pero no hay muros altos ni barrotes gruesos
Que a las voces discordantes logren poder acallar
Y defendamos la alegría de la clase trabajadora
Que a pesar de todo en pie resiste
Y no desiste al quedar muchas conquistas
Y somos realistas y exigimos lo imposible
No te rindas, por favor, no cedas
Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda
Aunque el sol se esconda y se calle el viento
Aún hay fuego en tu alma, aún hay vida en tus sueños
No te rindas, por favor, no cedas
Aunque el frío queme, aunque el miedo muerda
Porqué esta es la hora y el mejor momento
Porqué no estás sola, porqué somos cientos
Si estamos lejos como un horizonte
Si allá quedaron árboles y cielo
Si cada noche es siempre alguna ausencia
Y cada despertar un desencuentro
Usted preguntará por que cantamos
Cantamos porque el grito no es bastante
Y no es bastante el llanto ni la bronca
Cantamos porque creemos en la gente
Y porque venceremos la derrota
Cantamos porque llueve sobre el surco
Y somos militantes de la vida
Y porque no podemos ni queremos
Dejar que la canción se haga ceniza
(translation)
Don't give up, please don't give in
Although the cold burns, although the fear bites
Although the sun hides and the wind is silent
There's still fire in your soul, there's still life in your dreams
Don't give up, please don't give in
Although the cold burns, although the fear bites
Because this is the time and the best time
Because you are not alone, because we are hundreds
And defend joy like a trench
Defending her from scandal and routine
Of misery and the wretched
Of transitory and definitive absences
And let's defend joy because day to day is ruin
But our smile is not tamed by power
And defend the courage to believe in utopias
Because with joy you can only win
Defending that of that Palestinian family
They all sleep in the same room
In case a bomb falls at night and everything ends
No one is left alive with the weight of pain
And that palestinian boy just wants to play
Go to school, study, be free to dream
He just wants to be a normal boy
And not knowing the fears of an adult before being their age
And let's defend the joy of that grandson
That he looks under the ground for the remains of dignity
Of that grandfather that fascism made prisoner
And he was shot at dawn while he shouted 'don't pass'
And we defend joy even though murderers rule the state today
And that they won the war they will tell us but humanly perhaps we
we have won
Don't give up, please don't give in
Although the cold burns, although the fear bites
Although the sun hides and the wind is silent
There's still fire in your soul, there's still life in your dreams
Don't give up, please don't give in
Although the cold burns, although the fear bites
Because this is the time and the best time
Because you are not alone, because we are hundreds
And defend joy like a flag
That does not make you a prisoner, that does not believe in gods or borders
Let's defend chasing our chimeras
Because crazy people are needed, craziness is needed
And let's defend joy as a right
Like the right to bread, to work and to shelter
Like a right that we are denied
But if it doesn't come, we'll go with all our might to catch it.
And let's defend the joy of the one who climbs scaffolding
And at 50 he can barely walk
And let's defend the joy of the miner
That life is risked to bring home bread
And let's defend the joy of that waitress
That she puts up with abuse from her boss and from clients
With ankle and hip pain
But for her family she always does it smiling
And let's defend the joy of that prisoner
That because of his ideology they deny him freedom
But there are no high walls or thick bars
That the discordant voices manage to be able to silence
And let's defend the joy of the working class
That despite everything standing resists
And do not give up when many conquests remain
And we're realists and we demand the impossible
Don't give up, please don't give in
Although the cold burns, although the fear bites
Although the sun hides and the wind is silent
There's still fire in your soul, there's still life in your dreams
Don't give up, please don't give in
Although the cold burns, although the fear bites
Because this is the time and the best time
Because you are not alone, because we are hundreds
If we are far as a horizon
If there were trees and sky
If every night is always some absence
And each awakening a misunderstanding
You will ask why we sing
We sing because the scream is not enough
And neither crying nor anger is enough
We sing because we believe in people
And because we will overcome defeat
We sing because it rains on the groove
And we are militants of life
And because we cannot and do not want to
Let the song turn to ash
