Somos trabajadores, somos fuertes
When we’re taken for granted, somos pacientes
Resolute, we gather and we share
Planting seeds, somos jardineros
Power in numbers, wisdom in cooperation
When we struggle, somos un colectivo
Without shelter, we brace the storm together
We don’t forget, somos elefantes
After sacrifice, we’re asked to sacrifice some more
When our shins are kicked, no somos victimas
We organize, we organize, nos organizamos
If a rubber stamp meets resistance, somos el obstáculo
We aspire, we overcome, justice through perseverance
A better future, somas visionarios
