Vuelvo para vivir
Illapu
I return to live
I return home, I return companion.
I return to the sea, mountains, I return to the port.
I return south, I greet my desert.
I return to be reborn, beloved town.
I return, love I return. To quench my thirst for you
I return, life I return, to live in your country.
I bring in my luggage of exile,
Fraternal friendship from other lands.
I leave behind sorrows and sleepless nights,
I return to live anew, whole.
I return, love I return. To quench my thirst for you.
I return, life I return, to live in your country.
I don't want to forget for joy,
The love of thousands who were there.
I ask for clarity for the mysteries,
Forgetting is a sad consolation.
I return, love I return. To quench my thirst for you.
I return, life I return, to live in your country.
Under the new face of cement,
The same people from long ago live.
The hungry continue to wait,
More justice, fewer monuments.
I return, love I return. To quench my thirst for you.
I return, life I return, to live in your country.
I return, I return, I return, I return, to live in your country.
I return, I return, I return, I return, to live in your country.
I return, I return, I return, I return.
