Lyrics " El guillatun "

Original text with translation

El guillatun

Violeta Parra

Original text

Millelche está triste con el temporal

Los trigos se acuestan en ese barrial

Los indios resuelven después de llorar

Hablar con Isidro, con Dios y San Juan

Camina la machi para el guillatun

Chamal y revoso, trailonco y kultrun

Y hasta los enfermos de su machitun

Aumentan las filas de ese guillatun

La lluvia que cae y vuelve a caer

Los indios la miran sin hallar qué hacer

Se arrancan el pelo, se rompen los pies

Porque las cosechas se van a perder

Se juntan los indios en un corralón

Con los instrumentos rompí— una canción

La machi repite la palabra sol

Y el eco del campo le sube la voz

El rey de los cielos muy bien escuchó

Remonta los vientos para otra región

Deshizo las nubes después se acostó

Los indios la cubren con una oración

Arriba está el cielo brillante de azul

Abajo la tribu al son del cultrun

Le ofrece del trigo su primer almud

Por boca de un ave llamado avestruz

Se siente el perfume de carne y muday

Canelo, naranjo, corteza e’quillay

Termina la fiesta con el aclarar

Guardaron el canto, el baile y el pan

Song translation

Millelche is sad with the storm

The wheats lie down in that barrel

The Indians resolve after crying

Talk with Isidro, with God and San Juan

The machi walks for the guillatun

Chamal and revoso, trailonco and kultrun

And even the sick of their machitun

The ranks of that guillatun increase

The rain that falls and falls again

The Indians look at her without finding what to do

They pull their hair out, they break their feet

Because the crops are going to fail

The Indians gather in a corralón

With the instruments I broke—a song

The machi repeats the word sun

And the echo of the field raises his voice

The king of heaven very well listened

He rides the winds to another region

He undid the clouds after he went to bed

The Indians cover her with a prayer

Above is the sky bright with blue

Down with the tribe to the sound of the cultrun

He offers him his first bushel of wheat

Through the mouth of a bird called an ostrich

You feel the scent of meat and muday

Cinnamon, orange, e'quillay bark

End the party with the rinse

They kept the song, the dance and the bread
