Canción Letanía
Quilapayún
Litany Song
Three thousand six hundred died
one after another.
Three thousand six hundred
killed one after another.
Santa María school
saw working-class blood.
The blood it knew
only misery.
They would be three thousand six hundred
deafened.
And they were three thousand six hundred
silenced.
Santa María school
was the extermination
of life that was dying,
only a scream.
Three thousand six hundred gazes
that went out.
Three thousand six hundred workers
murdered.
A child plays in Santa María school.
If he plays to find treasures
what would he find?
