The Repression

La Represión

Comrade persecutedCompañero perseguido
The party will return,El partido volverá,
From the depths of the homelandDesde el fondo de la patria
With vigor it will be reborn.Con vigor renacerá.

From the badly wounded workerDel obrero mal herido
Who went to die in PisaguaQue en pisagua fue a morir
His proletarian memorySu recuerdo proletario
Will live on in the people.En el pueblo ha de vivir.

The homeland weepsLlora la patria
For its fallen sons by deadly bullet,Sus hijos caídos por bala mortal,
They couldn't even knowNo pudieron siquiera saber
What freedom is.Lo que es la libertad.

Massacred peasantCampesino masacrado
In Ranquil or LonquimayEn ranquil o lonquimay
With your blood, new furrowsCon tu sangre nuevos surcos
Will be traced by the whole people.Todo el pueblo trazará.

And in the bloodied squareY en la plaza ensangrentada
The dove will remain.La paloma quedará.
It's Ramona who has diedEs ramona la que ha muerto
Her courage will endure.Su valor perdurará.
