Lyrics of Ya Parte el Galgo Terrible - Victor Jara

Ya Parte el Galgo Terrible (original)

Ya parte el galgo terrible
a matar niños morenos.
Ya parte la cabalgata
la jauría se desata
exterminando chilenos
ay que haremos, ay que haremos
ya parte la cabalgata,
ay que haremos, ay que haremos.
Con el fusil en la mano
disparan al mexicano
y matan al panameño
en la mitad de su sueño.
Buscan la sangre y el oro
los lobos de San Francisco,
golpean las mujeres
y queman los cobertizos.
Maldita sea la hora
y el oro que se deshizo
y para qué nos vinimos
de nuestro Valparaíso.
Ya matan a los chilenos,
ay que haremos, ay que haremos
en la mitad de su sueño
ay que haremos, ay que haremos.

(translation)

The terrible greyhound is already part
to kill brown children.
The cavalcade is already part
the pack is unleashed
exterminating chileans
oh what will we do, oh what will we do
already part of the cavalcade,
oh what will we do, oh what will we do
With the rifle in hand
they shoot the mexican
and they kill the Panamanian
in the middle of her dream of him.
They seek the blood and gold
the San Francisco Wolves,
hit women
and burn the sheds.
Damn the time
and the gold that fell apart
and why did we come
of our Valparaíso.
They already kill Chileans,
oh what will we do, oh what will we do
in the middle of your sleep
oh what will we do, oh what will we do
