La Muerte

In his office, O'Higgins talks to Monteagudo
About the future of Rodriguez
On the other hand, Benavente warns Rodriguez
That he could be sentenced to death

[Monteagudo]
We can't let Rodriguez take power
We can't let the people trust him
We can't let Rodriguez take power
We can't let the people trust him

You won't allow this subversive to usurp your hard-earned place
My general, with blood and effort, you have reached where you are to govern

[O'higgins]
This false patriot will pay for his disloyalty
Before it's too late and it becomes our downfall

[Monteagudo]
He will lead us down a wrong path and might even steal your position
It wouldn't be good for your name to take your place
We can't let Rodriguez take power
We can't let the people trust him

Oh, great general, let's be frank
Rodriguez is nothing but a common rival
A poor lawyer who won't stop praising
Whoever takes power

[O'higgins]
Don't think I don't realize
But I can't help but acknowledge
That he has been a great stronghold
To achieve our sovereignty

[Monteagudo]
Believe me when I say, the lodge will never accept someone like him
You are the great leader, the general who must govern

[Benavente]
Dear friend, I think they're coming for you
Take this cigar, it will help you get through
They want me to sentence your end
But I won't betray a friend like you

[Rodriguez]
Let it go, I must accept that this is my place
O'higgins won't let my shadow weigh on his position
We must fight for the homeland and its well-being
Regardless of consequences, price, and loyalty

[Monteagudo]
He must die here, by your authority
Only then can you prove he's a criminal

[O'higgins]
I don't want to be a hero or play God
I just want my work to end with honor
He doesn't know that deep down I know he's a liberator
But I can't make such a decision alone

[Part iii: Trial]
The Lautaro lodge decides Rodriguez's fate
But the members leave the responsibility in the hands
Of General O'Higgins. Rodriguez is informed
That he will be sentenced to exile
He faces O'Higgins

[O'higgins]
We are here to decide
The course history must follow
We must ensure freedom
And a sovereign homeland

[Monteagudo]
O'higgins, wake up, he must die

[O'higgins]
Don't push anymore, we must decide

[San martín]
I join your forces with my legion
You are the one who must make such a decision
Who the hell am I to decide?
The homeland is yours, to conquer or die

[Benavente]
It can't be, he can't die
Rodriguez is not a martyr, he must go on

[San martín]
The homeland is the homeland, honor is honor
Don't fight anymore, it's your decision
His name is a burden on your work
I can't do more, it's not my mission

[O'higgins]
But what more do they want from me?

[Monteagudo and San martín]
Now history runs through you!

[Rodriguez]
I don't understand
Why do they treat me like an animal?
These bars can't dictate the final sentence
I won't accept, that you dictate my end
You won't let my people live in freedom
We must fight for the homeland and its well-being
Even if you are the one to govern here

[O'higgins]
Let it go, you must accept that this is my place
I won't accept, that this story has a happy ending
We must fight for the homeland and its well-being
Even more so if I am the supreme governor

[Monteagudo]
You will die for defying our authority

[O'higgins]
Only then can I show where you belong

[Rodriguez]
I just ask that you listen to me, I have done no wrong
I am loyal to my homeland and even to you, general

[O'higgins]
It's time for you to shut up, you filthy criminal
It's time you know, that I'm in charge here, damn it!

On a horse, on the way to exile
Rodriguez bids farewell to his beloved free homeland
Finally, he is executed

[Rodriguez]
A sweaty horse takes me to exile
I'll light a cigarette, calm
Today I entrust my soul to your holy kingdom
Fear consumes me, I am alone
What did they brave ones feel now ethereal?
My chest is torn, terror

[Carrera, Neira, Rodríguez]
Believe in your ideal

[Rodriguez]
I'm afraid of death

[Carrera, Neira, Rodriguez]
The fight is unfair

[Rodriguez]
I don't feel so strong
No! I don't want to leave you like this
But they force me to leave
