Translation of the song lyrics La Canción del Trabajo (The Work Song) - Raphael

La Canción del Trabajo (The Work Song) (original)

Arrastrar la dura cadena, trabajar sin tregua y sin fin
Es lo mismo que una condena que ninguno puede eludir
El trabajo nace con la persona, va grabado sobre su piel
Y ya siempre le acompaña como el amigo mas fiel
Trabajar con nieve y con frío, con la fe del que ha de triunfar
Porque el agua que lleva el río no regresa nunca del mar
El trabajo nace con la persona, va grabado sobre su piel
Y ya siempre le acompaña como el amigo mas fiel
Vale mas tener esperanza y luchar por algo mejor
Trabajar con fe y esperanza, por lograr un mundo mejor
El trabajo nace con la persona va grabado sobre su piel
Y ya siempre le acompaña como el amigo mas fiel

(translation)

Drag the hard chain, work tirelessly and endlessly
It's the same as a conviction that no one can escape
The work is born with the person, it is engraved on their skin
And he always accompanies him as the most faithful friend
Work with snow and cold, with the faith of one who will succeed
Because the water that the river carries never returns from the sea
The work is born with the person, it is engraved on their skin
And he always accompanies him as the most faithful friend
It is better to have hope and fight for something better
Work with faith and hope, to achieve a better world
The work is born with the person, it is engraved on their skin
And he always accompanies him as the most faithful friend
