El camino es largo
Ángel Parra
The road is long
The road is not full of roses
for those who want a new Chile,
it's difficult and one must be generous
responding day and night to the urgencies.
If the road is long, I will walk it
because I am sure I will arrive.
Enemies of the homeland are those
who threaten our land with war
and propose a bloodied path,
I have Spain in my emotional memory.
Enemies of the homeland are those
who do not take care of the health of their sick
and leave them to their fate,
meaning left to death.
(Enemies of the homeland are those
who feed their pigs with wheat
and steal the bread from the mouth
of those who sweat forging the steels.)
Enemies of the homeland are those
who meet with the leader of the Empire
and receive millions under the table
for me they have a name: they are traitors.
