Lyrics and translation Pascuala Ilabaca - El Látigo de la Indiferencia

El Látigo de la Indiferencia

Un hombre caminaba su senda
Buscando vagamente el ancla de su vida.
En su paso encontró gente
Que aceró su carne y mente.

Gente cortante, fría e indiferente

Por ahí,
Cerca de la Quebrada del Ají,
Conocí la indiferencia
Que en Chile libre nunca vi.

Otro hombre ha caminado su senda,
Buscando vagamente, buscando,
En su paso encontró gente.
Gente cortante, fría e indiferente

The Whip of Indifference

A man walked his path
Vaguely seeking the anchor of his life.
In his step he found people
That hardened his flesh and mind.

People cutting, cold, and indifferent

Over there,
Near the Quebrada del Ají,
I met the indifference
That in free Chile I never saw.

Another man has walked his path,
Vaguely searching, searching,
In his step he found people.
People cutting, cold, and indifferent
