A poem from the first issue of The Woman's Voice (La Voz de la Mujer), published in Buenos Aires on January 8th, 1896. Translated from Spanish.
Cheers, comrades! Anarchy
The libertarian banner shakes already;
Hooray, dear brothers, to the fight!
To a strong arm, and a serene heart!
Behold, yes! Do you not see the shining
Horizon radiating light?
And between immense strands
Our banner waving. Hooray, to the fight!
Let none among us lag behind
Our fight is to the death, no holds barred;
Hooray! Dear sisters, another effort,
And who doubts that we shall win?
Let us tighten the lines, comrades
The red banner trembling,
Anarchy and health! And destroyed,
The bourgeois phalanxes will flee!
Serene, without fear, forever advancing,
We always march everywhere proudly,
Flattening the bourgeois henchmen
Destroying laws and power.
Comrades! Each opening in our lines
Should be answered with an explosion,
And thus, while flowing, we shall formidably go
Proclaiming the Social Revolution.
