Absent
Violeta by Violeta Parra
Why I came to Chile
so well that I was there?
Now I'm in a strange land,
ay, but sadly singing.
I have a thorn in my chest that I nailed
constantly in my heart that suffers,
ay, on Chilean soil. I want to dance cueca
,
I drink chicha,
want to go to market and buy a small. Go to Matucana
stroll on the fifth and the Santa Lucia
you my darling.
Before leaving Chile
I did not know what it's worth understanding
be Chile:
oh, now I know. As
cry my eyes when you sing this song, oh
and my guitar cries painfully
the staff.
How far is my Chile,
away my half-half,
how far my eight brothers,
Oh, my godmother and my mom.
seems to make a century Chile
that I know nothing,
why I write this letter,
ay, the command here pa 'there.
