Vamos, Mujer! (cantata a Santa Maria de Iquique)

1976

Let's go, woman, let’s head to the city
Everything will be different, don’t you doubt
Don’t you doubt, trust me, you’ll see
Because in Iquique, everyone will understand

Take my blanket, woman, it’ll keep you warm
Hold the little one in your arms, he won’t cry
He won’t cry, trust me, he’ll smile
You’ll sing him a lullaby, he’ll fall asleep

What’s going on? Tell me, don’t hold back

You’ve got a long road ahead to travel
Crossing hills, come on, woman
Let’s go, woman, trust me, we need to get there
In the city, we’ll see all the ocean

They say Iquique is as big as a salt flat
That there are many beautiful houses, you’ll like them
You’ll like them, trust me, just like God
There at the port, everything will be better

What’s going on? Tell me, don’t hold back

Let’s go, woman, let’s head to the city
Everything will be different, don’t you doubt
Don’t you doubt, trust me, you’ll see
Because in Iquique, everyone will understand
