Soy Chileno

I'm Chilean

Soy Chileno

I'm from the Mapuche people,Yo soy del pueblo araucano,
Where Gabriela and her crewDonde gabriela y su mano
Marked the blackboardRayaron el pizarrón

And our Pablo Neruda,Y nuestro pablo neruda,
The heart that rushesEl corazón que se apura
To the sound of our songAl son de nuestra canción

And Don Fernandez raised a toastY don fernandéz brindó
For wine and the cuecaPor el vino y la cueca
He sang 'Thanks to Life'Gracias a la vida cantó
With his purple guitarCon su guitarra violeta

I want to give you, I want to give you,Te quiero dar, te quiero dar,
My heart and I won't stop supporting youMi corazón y no te dejo de apoyar,
I want to shout, I want to shout,Quiero gritar, quiero gritar,
That I'm Chilean and I won't stop jumpingQue soy chileno y no dejo de saltar

Poropopom larararaPoropopom lararara
He who doesn't jump isn't truly ChileanEl que no salta no es chileno de verdad
Poropopom larararaPoropopom lararara
He who doesn't jump isn't truly ChileanEl que no salta no es chileno de verdad

(and he says)(y dice)

I let off steam at Plaza ItaliaMe descargo por plaza italia
The cradle of the outspokenLa cuna del que no calla
Where my voice echoesDonde resuena mi voz

My worn-out sneakersLas zapatillas gastadas
Me on the avenue, my belovedYo la avenida,mi amada
And without coins for the busY sin monedas pa'l bus

And I came to see you againY vine a verte otra vez
Jump, red tideSalta marea roja
With all my heart,Con todo mi corazón,
I'm Chilean and it showsYo soy chileno y se nota

I want to give you, I want to give you,Te quiero dar, te quiero dar,
My heart and I won't stop supporting youMi corazón y no te dejo de apoyar,
I want to shout, I want to shout,Quiero gritar, quiero gritar,
That I'm Chilean and I won't stop jumpingQue soy chileno y no dejo de saltar

He who doesn't jump isn't truly ChileanEl que no salta no es chileno de verdad

(and my people say)(y dice mi gente)

I want to give you, I want to give you,Te quiero dar, te quiero dar,
My heart and I won't stop supporting youMi corazón y no te dejo de apoyar,
I want to shout, I want to shout,Quiero gritar, quiero gritar,
That I'm Chilean and I won't stop jumpingQue soy chileno y no dejo de saltar
