Compañeros, a la pampa
Friends, to the plains
Con amor a trabajar
With love to work
Donde no mande la mito
Where the myth doesn't rule
No manda su caporal
Its foreman has no power
Ay-ay-ay, compañeritos
Ay-ay-ay, little friends
¿Hasta cuándo trabajaremos?
How long will we work?
Ya llegó la Navidad
Christmas has arrived
Y ahora sí descansaremos
And now we will finally rest
De la tierra nació la palma
From the land the palm was born
De la palma nació la flor
From the palm the flower was born
De la flor nació María
From the flower, Mary was born
De María, mi redentor
From Mary, my redeemer
Qué viva, viva María
Long live, long live Mary
Viva mi santa hermandad
Long live my holy brotherhood
'Tamos celebrando ahora
We're celebrating now
Nuestra nueva libertad
Our new freedom
'Tamos celebrando ahora
We're celebrating now
Nuestra nueva libertad
Our new freedom
