A Luis Emilio Recabarren - Victor Jara

Pongo en tus manos abiertas

Mi guitarra de cantor

Martillo de los mineros

Arado del labrador

Recabarren

Luis Emilio Recabarren

Simplemente, doy las gracias

Por tu luz

Con el viento, con el viento

De la pampa

Tu voz sopla por el centro

Y por el sur

Árbol de tanta esperanza

Naciste en medio del sol

Tu fruto madura y canta

Hacia la liberación

I put in your open hands

my singing guitar

miners hammer

plowman's plow

recabarren

Luis Emilio Recabarren

I simply say thank you

for your light

With the wind, with the wind

from the pampas

Your voice blows through the center

and to the south

tree of so much hope

You were born in the middle of the sun

Your fruit ripens and sings

towards liberation
