Venceremos ( [benseˈɾ​emos] ; 'We Shall Prevail', also 'We Shall Overcome', 'We Will Win') is a Chilean political movement song that was the anthem for the Popular Unity of Chile. Originally popularized by Chilean groups Inti-Illimani and Quilapayún, it was a song to propagate the "nueva canción" movement in Chile at the time, and to support Salvador Allende during the 1970 Chilean presidential elections. The original lyrics were written by Claudio Iturra and the music was composed by Sergio Ortega. To further support the left-wing party and Allende in the 1970 elections, the lyrics were rewritten by Víctor Jara – with the mentioning of Allende and the Popular Unity in the lyrics – so thus a second version came about which then became the anthem for the Popular Unity movement in 1970.
This song became popular in the 1970s and has been translated into Portuguese, Italian, Russian, German, and Turkish; however, the authors of the former three remains unknown.
The lyrics were revised by Victor Jara, and this version has been recorded by Quilapayún.
When the song "Venceremos!" reached its popularity, the lyrics have been translated into Turkish by the Turkish band ( 'Commentary Group'), founded in 1984 and are known for the political songwriting.
There have been several versions of the lyrics in German. The most notable one is the version below written by German poet Hans Georg Albig ( 1944).
