Soy soldado revolucionario,
soy de aquellos de caballería
y si muere mi cuaco en combate
pos me paso pa' la infantería.
Con mis cuatro cananas terciadas
bien repletas de balas sedientas
cuando estamos en pleno combate
le doy gusto a mi buen treinta-treinta.
Si me toca morir en las filas
pos pa' que he de fijarme en la vida,
mis haberes yo siempre los gasto
con alguna de mis consentidas.
¡Ay, chaparra! si ves que me matan
tú te sigues en los cocolazos,
no más no hagas mi tumba muy honda
pa' que yo siga oyendo balazos.
Ya se escucha sonar la metralla,
ya el clarín toca fuego graneado,
ahora o nunca, muchachos arriba,
a acabar a estos hijos del diablo.
Ya con esta me voy despidiendo,
ya me voy de revolucionario,
si Dios quiere que vuelva, pos vuelvo
si no, rezan por mí un novenario
Inti-Illimani is a Latin American folk music ensemble from Chile, formed in 1967 by a group of university students. The group gained widespread popularity in Chile for their song «Venceremos» (We shall win!), which became the anthem of Salvador Allende's Popular Unity government. At the time of the September 11, 1973 Chilean coup, Inti-Illimani was on tour in Europe and was unable to return to their country where their music was proscribed by the ruling military junta. In Europe, their music took on a multifarious character, incorporating elements of European baroque and other traditional music forms to their rich and colourful Latin American rhythms - creating a distinctive fusion of modern world music. Inti-Illimani is perhaps the best internationally known members of the nueva cancion movement. Their name means 'Sun of the Illimani' in Aymara. Illimani is the name of a mountain in the Bolivian Andes. Representative tracks include: «Venceremos», «El pueblo unido jamás será vencido», «La flor de la vida».
