Warcraft 3, Blizzard's real-time strategy game released in 2002, gave its human peasant workers a set of short spoken responses for moving, working, and being selected. 'A trabajar' comes from the Spanish-language version, where the peasant acknowledges a work order in his own language. As gameplay clips, streams, and Spanish-speaking gaming communities shared those unit quotes, the line became a handy shorthand for starting a task. It endures because it is instantly understood, even by players who do not speak Spanish, as the sound of getting down to work.

A short Warcraft 3 voice line where a peasant says 'A trabajar' in Spanish after being ordered to work, popular in gaming videos and meme edits.
A trabajar is a brief Spanish voice command from Warcraft 3, spoken by a peasant worker when a player clicks to send him to a task. Lasting just over a second, it is delivered in a cheerful, ready-to-work tone, with clear pronunciation and a slightly rustic, medieval-fantasy inflection that fits the game's human faction. The phrase translates as "to work" or "let's get to work," so it instantly signals someone starting a job, often with comic enthusiasm. In videos it lands as a quick, recognizable cue for chores, grinding, building, or reluctantly beginning a boring task, giving the moment a playful, game-like energy.
