CANCION DE LA CABALLERIA
Los Huasos Quincheros
SONG OF THE CAVALRY
I'm from the Cavalry,
Soldier and cowboy from Chile,
I serve my Weapon with love.
With hussars and dragoons,
Lancers and hunters,
I defend my flag.
Like a troop of centaurs,
Wrapped in dust and iron,
We cross the Homeland,
In a warrior gallop.
Ponchos at the waist!
Unsheathe the sabers!
For God and Holy Mary,
Charge the Cavalry,
Gallop, race, sea!
Charge the Cavalry,
Gallop, race, sea.
Under the equipment,
Slung over my chest,
My heart beats.
And at the tip of my lance,
Wounded by the stars,
My banner flies.
When the bugles sound,
Their electrifying call,
We charge forward,
With our gleaming lances.
Ponchos at the waist!
Unsheathe the sabers!
For God and Holy Mary,
Charge the Cavalry,
Gallop, race, sea!
Charge the Cavalry,
Gallop, race, sea.
