When the day dawns - Angel Parra

Because not everything is about politics, I'll post -once in a while- some of the most famous and important chilean songs composed in the last forty years of our history. Now, we'll listen to Angel Parra and his beautiful song Cuando Amanece el Día/When The Day Dawns... enjoy!



When the day dawns

When the day dawns I say how lucky I am to witness, how the dark night ends, that gave pain and bitterness to my land.

And there I see the man that arises, grows and expands.

When the day dawns I feel that your love grows over time and it gives me a hand in the hair and it gives me grief and comfort.

And there I see the man that arises, grows and expands.

When the day dawns I ask to my two children, to bring light from their eyes, to enlighten so much hope of work and bread.

And there I see the man that arises, grows and expands.

When the day dawns I think about the six o'clock meeting in downtown, where all the people will scream
To defend what has been conquered!
