Las Casitas Del Barrio Alto
Victor Jara
The Little Houses of the High Neighborhood
The little houses of the high neighborhood
With bars and front gardens
A beautiful driveway
Waiting for a Peugeot
There are pink ones, green ones
White ones and light blue ones
The little houses of the high neighborhood
All made with recipol
And the people from the little houses
Smile at each other and visit
They go together to the supermarket
And everyone has a television
There are dentists, merchants
Landowners and traffickers
Lawyers and rentiers
And everyone wears polycron
They play bridge, drink martini-dry
And the children are blond
And with other blond children
They go together to the 'high' school!
And the little son of his daddy
Later goes to university
Starting his problematic
And social intricacies
He smokes cigarettes in an Austin Mini
Plays with bombs and politics
Kills generals
And is a gangster of sedition
The little houses of the high neighborhood
With bars and front gardens
A beautiful driveway
Waiting for a Peugeot
