The one who sings is MaturanaEl que canta es Maturana
Chilean by birthChileno de nacimiento
He travels the earthAnda rodando la tierra
With all his land insideCon toda su tierra adentro

Walking through those mountainsAndando por esos montes
In Salta he has become a lumberjackEn Salta se ha vuelto hachero
If he's going to fell a quebracho treeSi va a voltear un quebracho
His blood cries firstSu sangre llora primero

Little ChileanChilenito
Oh, exiledAy, desterrado
In the wine that puts him to sleepEn el vino que lo duerme
Asleep, he cries for his homelandDormido llora su pago

What will become of this lumberjack?¿Qué será de este hacherito?
Of the one who has been nothingDe ése que no ha sido nada
The wines that this Chilean drankLo irán cantando los vinos
Will sing about himQue ese chileno tomaba

Perhaps the coal will rememberTal vez el carbón se acuerde
The man who burned itDel hombre que lo quemaba
And that in the smoke went to heavenY que en el humo iba a cielo
Little ax man, MaturanaMachadito, Maturana
