Don José Miguel Carrera

Don José Miguel Carrera
in his house in Santa Rosa
spoke of independence
and danced the refalosa.

And he carried on his horse
the word freedom,
and his name repeated:
"Let's fight for brotherhood.
Chile will be sovereign,
we will fight hand in hand."

When the homeland was born
Don José Miguel Carrera
put his sword and his life
for this clean flag.

Don José Miguel Carrera
after the siege of Rancagua
dirtied his clean name,
bloodied the water.
