Romance de Los Carrera
Los Cuatro Cuartos
Romance of the Carrera Brothers
To know and tell
This true story,
We will have to cry it out,
There's no other more pitiful,
There's no other so dazzling,
In the whole country,
Like the mournful story,
Of the Carrera brothers.
Prince of the roads,
Beautiful as a carnation,
Intoxicating as wine,
Was don jose miguel.
A discharge in his chest,
Opened a purple spring.
Years go by,
The wound has not closed.
Who was the first to say,
'Freedom in our land,
Without kings and tyrants'?
Don jose miguel carrera.
Late, sad from mendoza,
Led by their fate,
One by one they arrived,
The brothers to death.
