El Minero

This lovely song
Is for all the miners
Who day after day
From sunup to sundown
Fight for a better town
Vico and his Grupo Karicia tell you
For Casapalca, Morococha, La Oroya
Huaron, Atarcocha
And all of Cerro de Pasco
Centromin
And for San Vicente, Yauricocha

Gloomy days in the mine
Nights of tragedy
Hopelessness and disillusion
I feel in my soul
So my life goes by
Because I'm a miner
A miner who gives everything
For my homeland
A miner who gives everything
All my hope

But in life I must suffer
Because of ingratitude
My great tragedy will end
Far away from here

I'm a miner, what am I going to do
I'm a miner, and that's how I'll die

For all my friends
From San Genaro province
Caudaloso
Marcococha
And for Max Julder Yauli
San Cristóbal
Jesús Carrasco
And for Toquepala
Cerró Verde
Buena Aventura
Guillermo Cox
Do it now

Gloomy days in the mine
Nights of tragedy
Hopelessness and disillusion
I feel in my soul
So my life goes by
Because I'm a miner
A miner who gives everything
For my homeland
A miner who gives everything
All my hope

But in life I must suffer
Because of ingratitude
My great tragedy will end
Far away from here

I'm a miner, what am I going to do
I'm a miner, and that's how I'll die
I'm a miner, what am I going to do
I'm a miner, and that's how I'll die

For Raúl and Gilmar Dominguez
Do it now
