Obreros Somos

Los Muertos de Cristo's song "Obreros Somos" is a powerful anthem that encapsulates the spirit of the working class and their struggle against oppression. The lyrics are a rallying cry for workers to unite against their common enemies: the exploitative employers and fascist forces. The repetition of the phrase "Obreros somos, obreros seremos" (We are workers, we will be workers) emphasizes the collective identity and solidarity among the working class. This unity is portrayed as essential for overcoming the injustices they face.

The song also highlights the importance of mutual support and solidarity, regardless of one's specific job or region. Lines like "Qué importa el ramo, somos obreros" (What does the branch matter, we are workers) and references to various regions in Spain, such as Galicia, Andalucía, and Cataluña, underscore the idea that the struggle is universal among workers. The call to action is clear: workers must rise up together to fight against exploitation and achieve social revolution.

Furthermore, the song incorporates strong anarchist themes, advocating for the overthrow of the bourgeoisie and the establishment of a society based on freedom and equality. The lyrics speak to the desire for a world where the earth becomes a "bello jardín" (beautiful garden) free from the vileness of exploitation. The song's closing lines, "La acracia al fin triunfará" (Anarchy will finally triumph), encapsulate the ultimate goal of the movement: a society where people are free from the chains of oppression and can live in harmony.
