Nuestro cobre (original)Nuestro cobre (translation)
Nuestro cobre our copper
La carne de la pampa The meat of the pampas
Enclavado en la tierra colorada Nestled in the red land
Que vive allá en el norte who lives there in the north
Empapado de sol y de montaña Sun drenched and mountain
Motivo de los hombres men's motive
Y mezclado con la sangre y con el alma And mixed with the blood and with the soul
De todo un pueblo pobre Of an entire poor town
Nuestro cobre our copper
Nacido entre los cerros Born among the hills
Y robado por manos extranjeras And stolen by foreign hands
Cambiado por dinero exchanged for money
No era Chile quien bebía de tu savia It was not Chile that drank from your sap
No eran los mineros They were not the miners
Y te hacían cañón y te ponían And they made you a cannon and put you
En contra de los pueblos Against the peoples
Nuestro cobre our copper
Ahora estás en casa now you are home
Y la patria te recibe emocionada And the country receives you excited
Con vino y con guitarras With wine and with guitars
Son tus dueños los mismos que murieron Your owners are the same ones who died
Porque no te llevaran Why won't they take you
Y de aquí ya no te mueven ni con sables And from here they don't even move you with sabers
Ni tanques ni metrallas Neither tanks nor shrapnel
Nuestro cobre our copper
La carne de la pampa The meat of the pampas
Enclavado en la tierra colorada Nestled in the red land
Que vive allá en el norte who lives there in the north
Como un niño que nunca imaginó Like a child who never imagined
La dicha de ser hombre The joy of being a man
Has vencido para bien de los chilenos You have won for the good of Chileans
Ya no seremos pobres We will no longer be poor
De tus frutos saldrá la vida nueva From your fruits will come new life
Vendrán tiempos mejores Better times will come
Para siempre el cobre está en las manos Forever the copper is in the hands
De los trabajadoresFrom the workers
