Que Viva Todo Santiago

Because I woke up very sad, I feel like crying
How can you not want me to cry if I can't forget you
Ay ay ay my santiagueña, I love you more every time

Beautiful new love arrives when the time is right
If you despise me for being poor, I say you're right
Sweet santiagueña, I carry you in my heart

The patio and the carob tree, shade to enjoy
Aroma of the empanada when it's just baked
Surely in the tree alone, the carnival begins

Long live all Santiago, let's sing together
With a drum, a guitar, the local chacarera
Ay ay ay my beautiful land, I love you more every time

When I hear chacareras, I remember how to sing
Cheering up dances in Vilmer or there in Yuchan
I danced the chacarera in Media Flor and El Polear

I'm a man ready to party when it comes to it
Bring red wine, bring white, here I want to toast
With the Banda's gang, sing and toast

Excuse me, I'm from Santiago, not trying to boast
If they play a trunquita, I might want to dance
Juan Saavedra used to say when he wanted to tap dance

Long live all Santiago, let's sing together
With a drum, a guitar, the local chacarera
Ay ay ay my beautiful land, I love you more every time
