Violeta ausente (original)Violeta ausente (translation)
¿Por qué me vine de Chile Why did I come from Chile
Tan bien que yo estaba allá? So good that I was there?
Ahora ando en tierras extrañas Now I walk in strange lands
Ay, cantando como apenada Oh, singing like sorry
Tengo en mi pecho una espina I have a thorn in my chest
Que me clava sin cesar that nails me endlessly
En mi corazón que sufre In my heart that suffers
Ay, por su tierra chilena Oh, for his Chilean land
Quiero bailar cueca I want to dance cueca
Quiero tomar chicha I want to drink chicha
Ir al mercado Go to the market
Y comprarme un pequén And buy me a little one
Ir por Matucana Go for Matucana
Y pasear por la quinta And stroll down the fifth
Y al Santa Lucía And to Saint Lucia
Contigo mi bien with you my good
Antes de salir de Chile Before leaving Chile
Yo no supe comprender I did not understand
Lo que vale ser chilena: What it is worth to be Chilean:
Ay, ahora sí que lo sé Oh now I know
Igual que lloran mis ojos just as my eyes cry
Al cantar esta canción by singing this song
Ay, así llora mi guitarra Oh, that's how my guitar cries
Penosamente el bordón sadly the staff
Qué lejos está mi Chile How far is my Chile
Lejos mi media mitad Away my half half
Qué lejos mis ocho hermanos How far my eight brothers
Ay, mi comadre y mi mamá Oh, my comadre and my mom
Parece que hiciera un siglo It seems like a century ago
Que de Chile no se nada That I don't know anything about Chile
Por eso escribo esta carta That's why I write this letter
Ay, la mando de aquí pa' alláOh, I send her from here to there
