Canto de las Estrellas (Song for the Stars) (original)Canto de las Estrellas (Song for the Stars) (translation)
No me alcanza la razón I can't reach the reason
Ni el amor, ni la palabra Neither love, nor the word
Mis manos que ahora labran My hands that now work
En este instrumento un son In this instrument a son
Si no alcanza mi visión If it doesn't reach my vision
Y nunca me ha de alcanzar And it will never reach me
Pa' poder interpretar To be able to interpret
El pensar de Víctor Jara The thinking of Víctor Jara
Quien dijera en su plegaria Who said in his prayer
Yo no canto por cantar I do not sing for singing
Cómo se escuchan tus sones How your sounds are heard
Con tonos de consecuencia With tones of consequence
De verdad y de paciencia of truth and of patience
De pensar sin más presiones To think without more pressure
No canto por ilusiones I do not sing for illusions
Dijo delante de Dios Said before God
Ni canto porque entre dos I don't even sing because between two
Sea el camino menos largo be the shortest path
No canto ni por encargo I do not sing or on request
Ni por tener buena voz Not even for having a good voice
Cantó porque el sentimiento He sang because the feeling
Cantó porque la amistad He sang because friendship
Cantó por la realidad sang for reality
Cantó por el sufrimiento He sang for the suffering
Cantó porque su talento He sang because his talent
En la música desgarra In the music tears
Cantó porque las amarras He sang because you tie them
Se soltarán de la gente They will let go of people
Se le oyó decir ausente He was heard to say absent
Cantó porque la guitarra He sang because the guitar
Tu vida encaminada your life on track
Por un ideal diferente for a different ideal
Por estar entre la gente for being among the people
A la muerte llevada To death led
Y no puedo ser librada And I can't be freed
De la fuerza y la opresión Of force and oppression
Que apretado el corazón how tight the heart
Tu canto hoy día se aferra Your song today clings
Porqué cantarle a la tierra why sing to the earth
Tiene sentido y razón It makes sense and reason
Yo no canto por cantar I do not sing for singing
Ni por tener buena voz Not even for having a good voice
Canto porque la guitarra I sing because the guitar
Tiene sentido y razónIt makes sense and reason
