Original text with translation
Quilapayun
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
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
