Come sing with me
Hay una mujer desaparecida
Hay una mujer desaparecida
En Chile, en Chile, en Chile
And the junta
And the junta knows
And the junta knows where she is
And the junta knows where she is hiding
She's dying
Hay una mujer desaparecida
Hay una mujer desaparecida
En Chile, en Chile, en Chile
Missing in Brazil
Missing in Uruguay
Missing in Guatemala
Missing El Salvador
Hay un hombre
Hay un niรฑo
Dos niรฑos
Hay una mujer desaparecida
Hay una mujer desaparecida
En Chile, en Chile, en Chile
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, mmm
If you'd sing the chord under this next chant, it would
Be pretty. Any of the notes, and then, when you run out
Of air, just take another breath. So it's a constant sound
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Listen to the voices of the old women
Calling out the messages of the moon and sea
Telling us what we need to know in order to be free
Listen to the voices of the old women
Listen to the voices of the Indian nations
Calling out the messages of the earth and sky
Telling us what we need to know in order to survive
Listen to the voices of the Indian nations
Listen to the voices of the young children
Calling out the messages of our heart and soul
Telling us what we used to know before all the lies got told
Listen to the voices of the young children
Listen to the voices
We are the voices
We are the voices
Ah
One night in Oklahoma
Karen Silkwood died
Because she had some secrets
That big companies wanted to hide
There's talk of nuclear safety
And there's talk of national pride
But we all know it was a death machine
And that's why Karen died
And it could have been me
But instead it was you
So I'll keep doing the work you were doing as if I were too
I'll be a student of life, a singer of songs
A farmer of food and the righter of wrongs
It could have been me
But instead it was you
And it may be me, dear sisters and brothers, before we are through
But if you can work for freedom
The junta broke the fingers in Victor Jara's hands
Said to the gentle poet, "Play your guitar now if you can"
Victor started singing but they brought his body down
You can kill that man, but not his song
'Cause it's sung the whole world round
And it could have been me
But instead it was you
So I'll keep doing the work you were doing
As if I were two
I'll be a student of life, a singer of songs
A farmer of food and a righter of wrongs
It could have been me
But instead it was you
And it may be we, dear sisters and brothers
Before we are through
But if you can sing for freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom
If you can sing for freedom, I can too
The songs of Nicaragua and El Salvador
Will long outlast the singers who must face the guns at war
They sing of the light of fire
And they sing from a fire within
All across the land, the poets stand
El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
And it could have been me
But instead it was you
So I'll keep doing the work you were doing
As if I were two
I'll be a student of life, a singer of songs
A farmer of food and a righter of wrongs
Oh, it could have been me
But instead it was you
And it may be we, dear sisters and brothers
Before we are through
But if you can live for freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom
If you can live for freedom, I can too
I can too
I can too
I can too
