La Pericona

The pericona says
With much sorrow
That life is harder
Than a chain,
Than a chain,
With much sorrow,
That life is harder
Than a chain.

The pericona says
That she has a fever
Because the poor are deceived
With false promises,
That she has a fever,
That she has a fever,
Because the poor are deceived
With false promises.

The pericona says
That she feels cold
Because the poor are told
The story of 'the uncle',
That she feels cold,
That she feels cold,
Because the poor are told
The story of 'the uncle'.

The pericona says
That the regiment
Dances to the tune
Of the instrument,
The regiment,
The regiment,
Dances to the tune
Of the instrument.

The pericona says
Bread and a piece
And the rich have a bun
Under their arm,
Bread and a piece,
Bread and a piece
And the rich have a bun
Under their arm.

The pericona says
Let's sing
With Salvador Allende
Let the changes come,
Let's sing,
Let's sing
With Salvador Allende
Let the changes come.
