Lyrics of 'Rebellion Is Justified' by Bandera Roja

Where there is oppression, there will be rebellion
This is the science of revolution
When injustice grows and massifies (If repression grows, it intensifies)
We are in the right (There is no other option)
Rebellion is justified

We are the most intimate feeling of the people
The hatred of the majority fed up with this hellhole
Welcome are the stones against tanks
In Palestine the Intifada is growing
All over the world, riots are growing
India, Greece, Syria, or the people of Turkey (Kurdish)
Oppressed nations, those of the Third World
They rise up against the latifundia
Final-phase capitalism, called imperialism, in crisis agonizes
The superpower that is coming to devastate United States
Bloody Uncle Sam
It extends its military presence and force to all the countries it seeks to exploit
Examples are militias, ground troops, the Yankees' armies in the Middle East
Ukraine invading, encircling Eastern Europe, imposes itself on Russia, proves that it is stronger
The imperialisms fight each other, plundering resources as their spoils
With the World Bank he will strangle us,
International Monetary Fund regulates that reforms
leave everything ready to serve the rich and imperialism

Where there is oppression, there will be rebellion
This is the science of revolution
When injustice grows and massifies
We are in the right:
Rebellion is justified

In our country live the worms, be they senate or fucking deputies
Outside the parliament we'll protest, let's close down the old scorpion cave forever
Fishermen fight for subsistence so as not to die under the Longueira law
It forces determined and violent protest
An oar in Zaldivar's snout haunts him
The struggle of students for free education at the service of the population
Today he has 3 comrades murdered, for them and the political prisoners, let's throw the State out
To combat the fierce repression, street fighting is the solution
We are students, we are not pacifists, long live the anti-imperialist struggle
The Rankilko community is an example of Mapuche struggle, recovering land, that is its context
Tralkatün for the GOPE , ready for the Awkan
Shouting all together Amulepe Taiñ Weichan (Our struggle continues)
Because of crying, we poor people get together
With all their lies, they forced us
We understood that in order to win
The people need a people's war

Where there is oppression, there will be rebellion
This is the science of revolution
If repression grows, it intensifies
There is no other option Rebellion is justified

Peasant, proletarian, neighborhood brother who fights daily against the old state and its lackeys, corrupt state officials will be rejected with organized red and revolutionary party
Stones to the police, dogs with no class conscience, we expose snitches, never with our arms crossed
This situation is going to shit, from below they don't want to live like beasts anymore
Re-taking Recabarren we lead the unified struggle to the end, as was done in Ranquil
Based on worker-peasant alliance, Mapuche and students all go to the top
It will be symptomatic of the state to overthrow bureaucratic capitalism and semi-feudal
We are not independent, keep it in mind, in prolonged struggle we must be brave
This is the revolutionary violence that will quickly change the old society of weeping and grief from its very core
For Communism we raise our voices

Where there is oppression, there will be rebellion
This is the science of revolution
When injustice grows and massifies (If repression grows, it intensifies)
We are in the right:
(There is no other option)
Rebellion is justified
