Romance de los Carrera
Los Huasos Quincheros
Romance of the Carreras
To know and tell
this true story,
we will have to cry for her,
there is no other more pitiful,
there is no other more dazzling,
throughout the entire country,
like the mournful history,
of the Carrera brothers.
Prince of the roads,
beautiful as a carnation,
intoxicating like wine,
It was Don José Miguel.
A discharge in his chest,
opened a purple spring.
The years go by and go,
the wound has not closed.
Music.
Who was the first to say?
"Freedom in our land,
without kings and without tyrants".
Don José Miguel Carrera.
Afternoon, sad from Mendoza,
driven by their luck,
one by one they arrived,
brothers to death.
Prince of the roads,
beautiful as a carnation,
intoxicating like wine,
It was Don José Miguel.
A discharge in his chest,
opened a purple spring.
The years go by and go,
the wound has not closed.
