El Minero
Savia Andina
The Miner
Gloomy days of the mine
Nights of tragedy
Hopelessness and disillusion
Are felt in my soul
So my life goes by
Because I am a miner
A miner who gives
All my existence for my homeland
But in life I must suffer
So much ingratitude
My great tragedy will end
Far away from here
Predestined to live
In the holy sky
That's why I ask God to let me die
Like a good miner
Miner from the highlands and the valley
Miner who works in the mine
Don't forget your roots
Remember where you come from
Miner, don't cry
Miner who works in the mine
Keep working hard
With sweat on your forehead
Gloomy days of the mine
Nights of tragedy
Hopelessness and disillusion
Are felt in my soul
So my life goes by
Because I am a miner
A miner who gives
All my existence for my homeland
But in life I must suffer
So much ingratitude
My great tragedy will end
Far away from here
Predestined to live
In the holy sky
That's why I ask God to let me die
Like a good miner
Miner from the highlands and the valley
Miner who works in the mine
Don't forget your roots
Remember where you come from
Miner, don't cry
Miner who works in the mine
Keep working hard
With sweat on your forehead
