Chuquicamata

Chuquicamata, chuquicamata, chuquicamata, chuquicamata
In the copper province, that's where I was born
Chuquicamata is the name of the place I grew up
Seeing the bare land, with its sands, no one imagines
That from its soil we extract
Good copper
That gives us life
Yes, sir
Filled with peaks, my land is a bowl
Few little houses and a strange bare hill
And escaping from my chuquicamata
Songs that lift the heart
Everyone, everyone let’s drink to toast to chuquicamata
But first of all, I’m Chilean

I passed through La Serena in Coquimbo
Land of rich battles and good honey
Then I ran into the wines
A town of clams, crazies, and sea urchins
And without stopping in La Ligua, due to my fears of earthquakes
Yes, sir
In La Calera, you can feel the mineral
It’s the hardest cement for building
And escaping from my chuquicamata
Songs that lift the heart
Everyone, everyone let’s drink to toast to chuquicamata
But first of all, I’m Chilean

The capital is Santiago, yes, sir
I’m Chilean twice
With double honor
San Cristóbal rises to reach the Virgin Mary
And from up there, you can joyfully see Santa Lucía
Yes, sir
And just a few hours from our capital
With its flower gardens, Viña del Mar
And escaping from my chuquicamata
Songs that lift the heart
And escaping from my chuquicamata
Songs that lift the heart
Everyone, everyone let’s drink to toast to chuquicamata
But first of all, I’m Chilean
And surrounding my chuquicamata
Songs that lift the heart
And escaping from my chuquicamata
Songs that lift the heart
And escaping from my chuquicamata
Songs that lift the heart
And escaping from my chuquicamata
