El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido in Swedish (Rare) [Eng subs]

This is a rare Swedish version of El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido, the classic Chilean protest song that became world famous after Salvador Allendes government was overthrown by Augusto Pinochet 1973.
The classic Swedish translation of El Pueblo Unido from the 70s (sometimes called Ett enat folk, A United People) has been recorded by among others Fria Proteatern and Monica Nielsen. This version is however made by the modern socialist band Bergsbestigarna and included on their self-titled album from 2017.
The most obvious change in the lyrics is in the end. Where the 70s translation talks about people uniting in Chile, Guinea, Cambodia and Vietnam, this newer version instead mentions Venezuela, Palestine and Rojava.
Thank you @sael-df1xy for helping me with the Spanish subtitles!

Beatifully said! Thank you for listening, I hope to be able to put up some more Swedish songs about Chile in the futute.

For the Internationale Workers Federation comrade! Solidaritet

Btw, I now also have a nice Swedish recording of Venceremos on my channel. Check it out!

Allende was a truly respectable man, he helped what few people could of helped the chilean working class, he created intitutions for the chilean women, removed unused proprieties from chilean bourgeoi, giving them to homeless people wich could be reabilitated into the society, he gave a bunch of rights to the chilean workers, and the Unidad Popular fought to the last bit to defend chile from the fascist claws of pinochet, a minute of silence to this legend🚩🚩🚩

[@theredmoose2084]

Yeah, and regardless if one feels he did enough or not, it surely was enough for the US to want to coup him and install a fascist instead.

It's so great that there are swedish versions of all the great left wing songs

[@theredmoose2084]

Yeah, and back when most Swedes didn’t know much of other languages, it was quite common to give all sorts of foreign songs Swedish lyrics. The socialist bands had a lot of good material to work with!

[@roedagardet]

Hadn't actually listened to the full version beyond the "rojava" lyric, this is a very good recording

[@theredmoose2084]

Thanks, that’s good to hear! I was debating with myself if I should put up one of the 70s versions, but I really like the drive and epic sound in this one. Plus that it isn’t been listened to very much, so it deserves a bit of attention.

[@CaseyKindaBased]

The lyrics actually so based dawg

[@theredmoose2084]

Yeah, they’re so good! A great version of this song.

[@danonilus]

It says "El pueblo unido jamás será vencido" but the lyrics screams for "El pueblo armado jamás será aplastado" (The people armed will never be crushed),

[@theredmoose2084]

That would also fit the picture in the video quite well.

I may be a dirty social democrat but he think this song is one of the best Swedish socialist songs that depict the struggle for socialism perfectly.

[@theredmoose2084]

It’s an amazing song and this version of it it is actually great. Glad you like it!

Traducción español de la versión Sueca: El pueblo Unido jamás será vencido Tú triunfaste pero qué pasará después? Porque después de la noche viene el día Cuando los vencidos se alcen de nuevo Y aquellos que caigan vibran una canción Acerca de la valiente lucha del pueblo que romperán tu poder En el día del juicio final Sabemos sabemos que la noche se convertirá en día Que la victoria sucederá a la derrota Un pueblo Unido no podrá ser nunca pisoteado nuestra resistencia crecerá y crecerá y los maestros se derrumbarán cuando ellos vean que nadie puede vencer nuestra unidad Así que responde maestro quién ha arado tu suelo? quién mina el cobre de tus montañas? CORO Hablas acerca de la nación y la patria Pero quién puso el rifle en tus manos? Tu justicia, tu fe, tu orden y tu ley Fueron compradas por una corporación americana que explota nuestro país Pero la mano del trabajador caerá fuerte sobre estos asesinos Y de nuestra derrota crecerá una fuerza que nunca entenderás Un pueblo Unido no podrá ser nunca pisoteado Nuestra resistencia crecerá y crecerá Y los maestros se derrumbarán Cuando ellos vean que nadie puede vencer nuestra unidad Los gritos rompen indomables desde Venezuela, Palestina, Rojava CORO

Yeah, it’s quite epic! Overall a really good version of this song.

[@rr_gaming4954]

Unfortunate that the chanting isn't translated as well. I feel like "Ett folk som är enat kan aldrig bli besegrat" would fit perfectly.

[@theredmoose2084]

True, but in every Swedish version I’ve heard they keep the chant in Spanish, maybe because it’s such an iconic saying.

[@rr_gaming4954]

@@theredmoose2084 Makes sense, and the original song was probably intended to be sung in solidarity with Chile. Still, it's such a powerful phrase, and song, that I'd love to have a version to relate to the Swedish worker's movement as well.
