Translation

La vida, tanto me gusta el paisaje de mi tierra

que no quiero estar en ella como si extranjero fuera

y quiero mar y montaña hablando mi propia lengua

y a nadie pedir permiso pa' construir la patria nueva.

Y con lo de libertad

And with regard to freedom

la vida, nadie me engaña

no hay libertad que valga.

Caramba, no hay libertad

Goodness, there is no freedom

La libertad ha llegado, conquista del pueblo ha sido

en el corazón chileno su llama ya se ha encendido.

Y siempre aquí quedará, la patria está decidida

And it will always remain here, the homeland is determined

con unidad y trabajo no habrá fuerza que lo impida.

Y esta sí que es libertad

con la justicia en la frente
