Lyrics
Muy bien, voy a preguntar,
por t, por ti, por aqul
por ti que quedaste solo
y el que muri sin saber
Muy bien, voy a preguntar,
por t, por ti, por aqul
por ti que quedaste solo
y el que muri sin saber,
que muri sin saber
Muri sin saber por qu le acribillaban el pecho
luchando por el derecho
de un suelo para vivir.
Ay, que ser ms infeliz
el que mand disparar,
sabiendo cmo evitar
una matanza tan vil!
Puerto Montt, oh Puerto Montt
Puerto Montt, oh Puerto Montt.
Usted debe responder
Seor Prez Zujovic,
por qu al pueblo indefenso
contestaron con fusil.
Seor Prez, su conciencia
la enterr en un atad
y no limpiarn sus manos
toda la lluvia del sur,
toda la lluvia del sur.
Muri sin saber por qu,
le acribillaban el pecho
luchando por el derecho
de un suelo para vivir.
Ay, que ser ms infeliz
el que mand disparar,
sabiendo cmo evitar
una matanza tan vil!
Puerto Montt, oh Puerto Montt
Puerto Montt, oh Puerto Montt.
Lyrics translation
All right, I'll ask,
for you, for you, for here
for you being alone
and the one who died without knowing
All right, I'll ask,
for you, for you, for here
for you being alone
and the one who died without knowing,
that I died without knowing
He died without knowing why his chest was being riddled
fighting for the right
a floor for living.
Ay, that be more unhappy
the one who shoots,
knowing how to avoid
such a vile slaughter!
Puerto Montt, Oh Puerto Montt
Puerto Montt, Oh Puerto Montt.
You must answer
Seor Prez Zujovic,
why the helpless people
they answered with a rifle.
Seor Prez, your conscience
I'm burying her in a tie.
and don't wipe your hands
all the rain in the South,
all the rain from the South.
I died without knowing why,
his chest was being pounded
fighting for the right
a floor for living.
Ay, that be more unhappy
the one who shoots,
knowing how to avoid
such a vile slaughter!
Puerto Montt, Oh Puerto Montt
Puerto Montt, Oh Puerto Montt.
