Freedom Cueca

Cueca de La Libertad

Life, I like the landscape of my land so muchLa vida, tanto me gusta el paisaje de mi tierra
that I don't want to be in it as if I were a foreignerque no quiero estar en ella como si extranjero fuera
and I want sea and mountain speaking my own languagey quiero mar y montaña hablando mi propia lengua
and not ask anyone for permission to build the new homeland.y a nadie pedir permiso pa' construir la patria nueva.

And with regard to freedomY con lo de libertad
life, no one deceives mela vida, nadie me engaña
that as long as there is miseryque mientras haya miseria
there is no worthwhile freedom.no hay libertad que valga.

Wow, there is no freedomCaramba, no hay libertad
if dignity is missing.si falta la dignidad.

Freedom has arrived, conquered by the peopleLa libertad ha llegado, conquista del pueblo ha sido
in the Chilean heart its flame has already been lit.en el corazón chileno su llama ya se ha encendido.
And it will always remain here, the homeland is determinedY siempre aquí quedará, la patria está decidida
with unity and work, no force will prevent it.con unidad y trabajo no habrá fuerza que lo impida.

And this is true freedomY esta sí que es libertad
with the homeland rescuedcon la patria rescatada
with justice in the forefrontcon la justicia en la frente
our land liberated.nuestra tierra liberada.

The people and their dignityEl pueblo y su dignidad
conquer their freedom.conquista su libertad.
