Lyrics
Ya parte el galgo terrible
A matar niños morenos.
Ya parte la cabalgata
La jauría se desata
Exterminando chilenos
Ay que haremos, ay que haremos
Ya parte la cabalgata,
Ay que haremos, ay que haremos.
Con el fusil en la mano
Disparan al mexicano
Y matan al panameño
En la mitad de su sueño.
Buscan la sangre y el oro
Los lobos de san francisco,
Golpean las mujeres
Y queman los cobertizos.
Maldita sea la hora
Y el oro que se deshizo
Y para qué nos vinimos
De nuestro valparaíso.
Ya matan a los chilenos,
Ay que haremos, ay que haremos
En la mitad de su sueño
Ay que haremos, ay que haremos.
Lyrics translation
The terrible Greyhound is leaving
To kill brown children.
The ride's on.
The pack unleashes
Exterminating Chileans
What will we do, what will we do
The ride's on.,
Oh, we'll do, oh, we'll do.
With the rifle in hand
Mexican shot
And they kill the Panamanian
In the middle of his dream.
They seek blood and gold
The Wolves of San francisco,
They beat the women
And they burn the sheds.
Damn the time
And the gold that fell apart
And why did we come here
From our Valparaiso.
The Chileans are already killed,
What will we do, what will we do
In the middle of his dream
Oh, we'll do, oh, we'll do.
