lyrics

Santiago, Santiago que amaneces
Santiago en las calles silenciadas
Santiago, Santiago que amaneces
Santiago un martes de semana

When the darkness releases my land
I think of tomorrow’s brotherly hands
Santiago, no more silence
Awaken the voices of the people from downtown

Why are those hands joined
And the sorrow vanishes from their faces?

Who are those joining hands at dawn
Like birds’ wings announcing their flight to freedom?

They are not dwellers in solitude
Deterred by banishment in the winter of life

They shall fly to freedom – vamos a volar

Santiago, Santiago at dawn
When will I hear your singing
Your singing once again
Children of my land?
