Cuando fui para la pampa
llevaba mi corazón contento
como un chirigüe,
pero allá se me murió,
primero perdí las plumas
y luego perdí la voz,
y arriba quemando el sol.
Cuando vide los mineros
dentro de su habitación
me dije: mejor habita
en su concha el caracol,
o a la sombra de las leyes
el refinado ladrón,
y arriba quemando el sol.
Las hileras de casuchas,
frente a frente, si, señor,
las hileras de mujeres
frente al único pilón,
cada una con su balde
y su cara de aflicción,
y arriba quemando el sol.
Fuimos a la pulpería
para comprar la ración,
veinte artículos no cuentan
la rebaja de rigor,
con la canasta vacía
volvimos a la pensión,
y arriba quemando el sol.
Zona seca de la pampa
escrito en un cartelón,
sin embargo, van y vienen
las botellas de licor,
claro que no son del pobre,
contrabando o qué sé yo,
y arriba quemando el sol.
Paso por un pueblo muerto
se me nubla el corazón,
aunque donde habita gente
la muerte es mucho peor,
enterraron la justicia,
enterraron la razón,
y arriba quemando el sol.
Si alguien dice que yo sueño
cuentos de ponderación,
digo que esto pasa en Chuqui
pero en Santa Juana es peor,
el minero ya no sabe
lo que vale su sudor,
y arriba quemando el sol.
Me volví para Santiago
sin comprender el color
con que pintan la noticia
cuando el pobre dice no,
abajo, la noche oscura,
oro, salitre y carbón,
y arriba quemando el sol.
The lyrics Y ARRIBA QUEMANDO EL SOL of INTI-ILLIMANI is also present in the album Hacia la libertad (1975)
Inti-Illimani è un ensemble musicale latinoamericano di musica folk, formatosi in Cile nel 1967 da un gruppo di studenti universitari. La band ha acquisito grande popolarità in patria per la canzone «Venceremos», che divenne l'inno del governo della Unità Popolare di Salvador Allende. Al momento del colpo di stato cileno del 11 settembre 1973, Inti-Illimani si trovava in tour in Europa e non è potuto tornare in Cile, dove la loro musica era stata proibita dalla giunta militare al potere. In Europa, la musica del gruppo ha assunto un carattere più variegato, incorporando elementi di barocco europeo e altre forme musicali tradizionali ai suoi ricchi e colorati ritmi latinoamericani, creando una distintiva fusione di musica mondiale moderna. Inti-Illimani è forse il membro più conosciuto a livello internazionale del movimento della *nueva canción*. Il nome significa 'Sole dell'Illimani' in lingua aimara; l'Illimani è un monte nell'Ande boliviano. Tra i brani rappresentativi: «Venceremos», «El pueblo unido jamás será vencido», «La flor de la vida».
