Ya parte el galgo terrible

The terrible greyhound already leaves

Ya parte el galgo terrible

The terrible greyhound already leavesYa parte el galgo terrible
To kill dark-skinned children.a matar niños morenos.
The cavalcade already departsYa parte la cabalgata
The pack is unleashedla jauría se desata
Exterminating Chileansexterminando chilenos
What will we do, what will we doay que haremos, ay que haremos
The cavalcade already departs,ya parte la cabalgata,
What will we do, what will we do.ay que haremos, ay que haremos.

With the rifle in handCon el fusil en la mano
They shoot the Mexicandisparan al mexicano
And kill the Panamaniany matan al panameño
In the middle of his dream.en la mitad de su sueño.

They seek blood and goldBuscan la sangre y el oro
The wolves of San Francisco,los lobos de San Francisco,
They beat womengolpean las mujeres
And burn the sheds.y queman los cobertizos.

Damn the hourMaldita sea la hora
And the gold that was losty el oro que se deshizo
And why did we comey para qué nos vinimos
From our Valparaíso.de nuestro Valparaíso.
They are already killing Chileans,Ya matan a los chilenos,
What will we do, what will we doay que haremos, ay que haremos
In the middle of his dreamen la mitad de su sueño
What will we do, what will we do.ay que haremos, ay que haremos.
