Compañero Presidente
Quilapayún
Comrade President
For your life we will sing
for your death a song
we will sing for your blood
Comrade, Savior.
For your life President
for your death Comrade
you left us your flags
Savior of the workers
For the wide avenues
Comrade President
the people will march again
with their fighting cry.
For your life we will fight
for your death with courage
we will fight for your example
comrade, Savior.
May the martyrdom end
of your betrayed land
may the spikes of the homeland
be reborn liberated
The unity of the entire people
is the liberating force
we will fulfill your word
Savior of victory
The soldiers came
death in the population
they take the worker
they put him in prison
All the peasants
under the yoke of the boss
and the workers
all to the firing squad
The stolen bread
misery and destruction,
hunger, torture, and chains,
weapons of oppression
Against the Chilean people
treason has risen
but we will overcome it
there will be no resignation.
In the mining soul
the insurrection is born
its proud fist rises
against repression
For Chile we will overcome
for its liberation
for a new homeland
for the revolution.
