Lyrics " Valparaíso "

Original text with translation

Valparaíso

Los Miserables

Original text

Yo no he sabido de su historia,

un día nací allí, sencillamente.

El viejo puerto vigiló mi infancia

con rostro de fría indiferencia.

Porque no nací pobre y siempre tuve

un miedo inconcebible a la pobreza.

Yo les quiero contar lo que he observado

para que nos vayamos conociendo.

El habitante encadenó las calles

la lluvia destiñó las escaleras

y un manto de tristeza fue cubriendo los cerros con sus calles y sus niños.

Y vino el temporal y la llovizna

con su carga de arena y desperdicio.

Por ahí paso la muerte tantas veces

la muerte que enlutó a Valparaíso

y una vez más el viento como siempre

limpió la cara de este puerto herido.

Pero este puerto amarra como el hambre,

no se puede vivir sin conocerlo,

no se puede mirar sin que nos falte,

la brea, el viento sur, los volantines,

el pescador de jaivas que entristece

nuestro paisaje de la costanera.

Yo no he sabido nunca de su historia…

Song translation

I have not known of its history,

one day I was born there, simply.

The old port watched over my childhood

with a face of cold indifference.

Because I was not born poor and always had

an inconceivable fear of poverty.

I want to tell you what I have observed

so that we get to know each other.

The inhabitant chained the streets

the rain discolored the stairs

and a cloak of sadness was covering the hills with their streets and their children.

And the storm came and the drizzle

with its load of sand and waste.

That's where death passed so many times

the death that mourned Valparaíso

and once again the wind as always

cleansed the face of this wounded port.

But this port moors like famine,

you cannot live without knowing it,

you cannot look without missing us,

the pitch, the south wind, the kites,

the fisherman of jaivas that saddens

our coastal landscape.

I have never heard of its history...
