Relato III(original) |
| Del quince al veintiuno |
| Mes de diciembre |
| Se hizo el largo viaje |
| Por las pendientes |
| Veintiséis mil bajaron |
| O tal vez más |
| Con silencios gastados |
| En el Salar |
| Iban bajando ansiosos |
| Iban llegando |
| Los miles de la pampa |
| Los postergados |
| No mendigaban nada |
| Sólo querían |
| Respuesta a lo pedido |
| Respuesta limpia |
| Algunos en Iquique |
| Los comprendieron |
| Y se unieron a ellos |
| Eran los Gremios |
| Y solidarizaron |
| Los carpinteros |
| Los de la Maestranza |
| Los carreteros |
| Los pintores y sastres |
| Los jornaleros |
| Lancheros y albañiles |
| Los panaderos |
| Gasfiteres y abastos |
| Los cargadores |
| Gremios de apoyo justo |
| De gente pobre |
| Los Señores de Iquique |
| Tenían miedo; |
| Era mucho pedir |
| Ver tanto obrero |
| El pampino no era |
| Hombre cabal |
| Podía ser ladrón |
| O asesinar |
| Mientras tanto las casas |
| Eran cerradas |
| Miraban solamente |
| Tras las ventanas |
| El Comercio cerró |
| También sus puertas |
| Había que cuidarse |
| De tanta bestia |
| Mejor que los juntaran |
| En algún sitio |
| Si andaban por las calles |
| Era un peligro |
| (translation) |
| From fifteen to twenty-one |
| Month of December |
| The long journey was made |
| down the slopes |
| twenty six thousand went down |
| or maybe more |
| With spent silences |
| in the salt flat |
| They were anxiously descending |
| They were arriving |
| The thousands of the pampa |
| the procrastinators |
| They didn't beg for anything |
| they just wanted |
| Response to request |
| clean answer |
| Some in Iquique |
| they understood them |
| And they joined them |
| They were the guilds |
| And they sympathized |
| The carpenters |
| Those of the Maestranza |
| the carters |
| The painters and tailors |
| the laborers |
| Boatmen and masons |
| The Bakers |
| Plumbers and supplies |
| The Chargers |
| Fair Support Guilds |
| of poor people |
| The Lords of Iquique |
| They were afraid; |
| it was too much to ask |
| See so much worker |
| The pampino was not |
| sane man |
| he could be a thief |
| Or murder |
| Meanwhile the houses |
| They were closed |
| They only looked |
| behind the windows |
| The store closed |
| Also your doors |
| You had to take care |
| of so much beast |
| Better get them together |
| Somewhere |
| If they walked the streets |
| it was a danger |
