yeah. i'll give a real translation.
this song is about 4 korean female cashers at E-mart who got fired just because they formed a labor union and refused to disconnect themsleves from the union.
The 'sisters' at E-mart made labor union late 2004 in order to improve their working conditions which had been so poor that they didn't have enough time to eat (20 minutes for lunch) and stuff.
however, as soon as the union launched, the great Samsung capitalists started clamping down on every union member by hiring thugs in the name of strengthening security and did unimaginable things to the union workers.
The Samsung capitalists took every measures to make sure the union be disbanded right away.
As a result of the terrible threats, appeasement and psychological tortures, most of the workers left the union and only 4 of them stayed with the union until the end.
The 4 women workers were fired in the early 2005, and still now they are fighting for their reinstatement.
It has been more than 300 days since their fight started.
Everyone knows that it's wrong to fire a worker because she or he is in union.
But Samsunf capitalists don't care about labor law or labor rights.
I made this song called 'the mountain that sisters overcome' to fight with the sisters against the conglomerate and smash capitalism.
on Oct 29, there'll be a huge anti-Samsung action.
on that day, i will sing this song with every fired workers. Octover 29 is the anti-Samsunf action day. so maybe you can organize an action over there for solidarity???
