Ladies and Gentlemen
we come to tell
what history
does not want to remember.
It happened in the Far North,
Iquique was the city.
Nineteen hundred seven
marked fatality.
There, the poor nitrate worker
was killed for the sake of killing.
We will be the speakers
we will tell the truth.
Truth that is the bitter death
of workers of the Salt Flat.
Remember our history
of unforgivable grief.
No matter how much time passes,
we must never forget.
Now we ask you
to pay attention.
