Para Que Nunca Más

(Too long embracing those who left has tired me out.
Too long with a deadly blow to those I love has tired me out.
Too long, too much, has tired me out.
And from my tired eyes, and from my tired hair, and from my tired tears,
I penetrate your eyes, and your eyes widen and our
Gaze from yesterday is present and future and my song
Starts to sing in yours.)

Seeing your so sad gaze makes me think of yesterday again
When I walked fearlessly by your side without asking why
Where all voices were heard and everyone's song was heard
We must embrace the present with arms and voices that can sing
We must embrace the present with arms and voices that can sing
So it never happens again in Chile, so it never happens again
So it never happens again in Chile, so it never happens again

(So it never happens again in Chile, the secret dungeons,
Biting the humanity of my people again,
So it never happens again in Chile, the disappeared detainees,
So it never happens again in Chile, the spilled brotherly blood,
Does not prevent freedom from blooming.)

We must embrace the present with arms and voices that can sing
We must embrace the present with arms and voices that can sing
So it never happens again in Chile, so it never happens again
So it never happens again in Chile, so it never happens again
