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