1. NOMÉS HI HA UN CAMÍ - THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
There’s only one way, the only one that’s marked
Marked by the outrage instigated by two States
There’s only one way, only one to follow.
It’s that which makes us hold out till we die
We must gather the strength to keep on fighting
It needs discipline, militant character
When the enemy uses repressive methods
There’s only one way, that is executing all the traitors
We’re still standing and on the alert! We have no other choice
We’re still standing and on the alert! It’s time to move into action
We’re still standing and on the alert! Let’s stop the repression
We’re still standing and on the alert! Let’s fight back the aggression
We need to enforce our rights
When there’s only one way, we’ll fight till the end
There’s only one way, we’re going to set up the organization
That will lead us, at last, to the union
Hard work, commitment from the militancy
One by one, using up all the means
In memory of the killed camrades,
For each tear shedded when remembering them
The hate and vengeance restore their honor
There’s only one way, continuing till we die!
We’re still standing and on the alert! We have no other choice
We’re still standing and on the alert! It’s time to move into action
We’re still standing and on the alert! Let’s stop the repression
We’re still standing and on the alert! Let’s fight back the aggression
We need to enforce our rights
When there’s only one way, we’ll fight till the end

2. TERRA DE GUERRERS - LAND OF WARRIORS
Many battles have taken place in this land,
So much blood has been shed by guns, daggers and swords,
Let’s remember a past full of fighters,
Downtrodden peasants, maquis, maulets and harvesters!
Who said we are people of common sense and negotiation?
We are people of revolts, struggle and disobedience.
Don’t believe the discourse of the bourgeoisie,
Who sell the common people out and then claim to be nationalists
Catalan Warriors! Our land is calling us!
Catalan Warriors! It is calling its guardians!
Catalan Warriors! Our land is calling us!
Catalan Warriors! It is calling its guardians!
Who said we have to belong to these two empires?
We need to reap the chains, and if required we reap skulls!
The empires tremble before the people’s power,
Charge good warriors, their end is near!
They won’t pass! We will pass!
We’ll pass over them and we will crush them!
We carry great hopes in our hearts and beautiful yearnings in our minds,
Have a good trip, you warriors! They who are true to their people
Catalan Warriors! Our land is calling us!
Catalan Warriors! It is calling its guardians!
Catalan Warriors! Our land is calling us!
Catalan Warriors! It is calling its guardians!

3. 1917
At the end of October in Petrograd
in a historic year for the proleteriat,
workers and peasants united,
seizing the power of the State.
The people, not willing to wait any longer,
Come up with a revolutionary solution.
The government is holding out,
They want to break the proletarian struggle.
Let us look back again
Remembering those who fought
The Bolshevik went out on the streets
In those violent days at the Winter Palace
False promises by the moderate
Insurrection won’t just be stopped
We’ll have to hang Kerensky
The people struggle will go on!!!
All the power to the Soviets!
All the power for the Soviets!
All the power to the Soviets!
That’s what the working people shout!
All the power to the Soviets!
All the power for the Soviets!
All the power to the Soviets!
From Petrograd to Kiev!

6. ALMOGÀVERS
Large gallies set out from the harbour
Crammed full of tanned-skinned soldiers
The Catalan flag waves in the stern and at the mainmast.
Sails to the wind, oars ripping across the water.
Doomed to glory and adventure
6,000 warriors, sons of Catalonia,
sailed from Messina to Constantinople
crossing this beautiful sea, our sea.
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! Loud screams, noise of swords
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! Shields, daggers, darts and spears
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! A ferocious and bloodthirsty battle
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! To die in combat brandishing the sword.
Skilled in hand-to-hand combat
Infantry-based army..
Developing combat tactics
To beat the cavalry
Berenguer d’Entença, Bernat de Rocafort
Ramon Muntaner, Roger de Flor
Leaders of a troop of brave warriors,
tough and rude combatants.
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! Loud screams, noise of swords
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! Shields, daggers, darts and spears
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! A ferocious and bloodthirsty battle
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! To die in combat brandishing the sword.
They travelled across the East of the Mediterranian
They fought in Lidia, Tracia and Tesalia
From war to war, from battle to battle,
They founded the dutchies of Athens and Neopatria.
Soon after the company was dissolved.
The expedition was over.
It is an episode of our own history,
remembered by the victories and their courage.
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! Loud screams, noise of swords
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! Shields, daggers, darts and spears
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! A ferocious and bloodthirsty battle
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS! To die in combat brandishing the sword
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS!
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS!
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS!
ALMOGAVERS! ALMOGAVERS!

7. CONSCIÈNCIA DE CLASSE - CLASS CONSCIENCE
Lying to the papers, lowering the wages
The hammer in their hands, as it is in the factory everyday,
A heavy thump on the metal, sparkles abound among the colleagues
We’ve made a decision, now and forever united.
Already unionized, the strike has been called for.
Damned scabs, they respect nothing
Fighting for the workers, within the framework of the nation
Neither the employer’s supervisor, nor the reformist unions.
And just like every first of May, the streets are dyed with blood
Colouring a flag, the proletarian flag
Good old war songs, alive in our memories
We still think it’s possible to make a better world
<ÍNDEX>
8. BEMBA BAR
In our memory remains
A bar that now belongs to the past
Symbol of a generation
Branded a perversion shrine
There we’d hang out
With the rest of the gang
We sang at the end of the street
or at the counter with our beers
Bemba Bar, Bemba Bar
That was our bar
So many nights getting sloshed..
They’re never coming back
Bemba Bar, Bemba Bar
That was our bar
So many nights getting sloshed..
They’re never coming back
But that September day
Damn black Friday
The closing-down warrant
Gathers everyone in town
The city council and the police
Spur the riots
11 unfair detentions
all are taken to the police station
Bemba Bar, Bemba Bar
That was our bar
So many nights getting sloshed..
They’re never coming back
Bemba Bar, Bemba Bar
That was our bar
So many nights getting sloshed..
They’re never coming back

9. ANGELETS DE LA TERRA - LITTLE ANGELS OF OUR LAND
Shots of blunderbuss resound in the mountains
Vallespir, 1660
The riot against the gabella tax erupts
As the people shout: Long live our land!
Just attached and already in revolt
Against Louis XIV - the king of France
And the tax on salt
Northern Catalonia explodes
Little angels of our land! Uooh!
French soldiers, you Frogs go to hell!
Against the French oppression! Uooh!
Let’s murder the bad government!
Red ‘barretina’, waisted jacket from Vic
The people’s army, with Catalan roots,
Using blunderbusses, daggers and pistols.
Those were their weapons.
May 5th 1670
At Regina’s Neck they are defeated
They fell into the clutches of the French enemy
But they shall never be forgotten
Little angels of our land! Uooh!
French soldiers, you Frogs go to hell!
Against the French oppression! Uooh!
Let’s murder the bad government!
Little angels of our land! Uooh!
French soldiers, you Frogs go to hell!
Against the French oppression! Uooh!
Let’s murder the bad government!

11. VELLS TELERS - OLD LOOMS
Let’s remember the murmur of old looms
Just like the one forging anew the old metal
We shall seize the power for good
Let’s return the dignity to the common people
Today I’ve dreamed of the past
Everything was just like it used to be some years ago
The smoke and the fog were invading the city
The working city you belong to
Before dawn we would leave home
For 12 hours of a hard and long working day
Alienated proletarians and turned to mass
The sad existence of a tired life
Let’s remember the murmur of old looms
Just like the one forging anew the old metal
We shall seize the power for good
Let’s return the dignity to the common people
Cold winters, streets abound with dew
Large chimneys spitting out blackened smoke
Industrial production in long assembly lines
Aching for the sound of the siren to ring
Workers made redundant, first riots,
Proletarians at war, explosions by the Luddites
Birth and union of syndicalism
Blood and violence, all killed by the Pistolerism
Let’s remember the murmur of old looms
Just like the one forging anew the old metal
We shall seize the power for good
Let’s return the dignity to the common people
Let’s remember the murmur of old looms
Just like the one forging anew the old metal
We shall seize the power for good
Let’s return the dignity to the common people
