Song language: Spanish
Vengo del sur(original) |
| Nací para cantar estas tristezas |
| Meter la luz ente las alimañas |
| Recorrer la impudicia con un rayo |
| Tocar las cicatrices inhumanas |
| Americano soy de padre y madre |
| Nací de las cenizas araucanas |
| Pues cuando el invasor buscaba el oro |
| Fuego y dolor le adelantó mi patria |
| Acaricio el recuerdo los héroes |
| Riego subterráneas esperanzas |
| Porque, de qué serviría el canto |
| El don de la belleza y de la palabra |
| Si no sirvieran para que mi pueblo |
| Conmigo combatiera, conmigo caminara? |
| Yo represento tribus que cayeron |
| Defendiendo banderas bien amadas |
| Y no quedó sino silencio y lluvia |
| Después del esplendor de sus batallas |
| Pero yo continúo sus acciones |
| Y por toda la tierra americana |
| Sacudo los dolores de mis pueblos |
| Incito la raíz de sus espadas |
| (translation) |
| I was born to sing these sorrows |
| Put the light between vermin |
| Go through impudence with lightning |
| Touch the inhuman scars |
| American I am from father and mother |
| I was born from the Araucanian ashes |
| Well, when the invader was looking for the gold |
| Fire and pain overtook my country |
| I caress the memory of the heroes |
| underground irrigation hopes |
| Because what good would singing |
| The gift of beauty and words |
| If they did not serve so that my people |
| Would you fight with me, would you walk with me? |
| I represent tribes that fell |
| Defending flags well loved |
| And there was nothing but silence and rain |
| After the splendor of their battles |
| But I continue their actions |
| And all over the American land |
| I shake the pains of my peoples |
| I incite the root of their swords |
