Waltz — Nicanor Casas
One day, on the seventh of June,
in a most unfortunate year,
a trusting parliament
came to demand their surrender.
It was six in the morning
when a captain appeared
to ask for the surrender of Arica,
which Don Bolognesi did not accept.
“I have sacred duties,”
the governor replied,
“and I will fulfill them with honor;
it is the duty of a soldier.”
Bolognesi and Ugarte,
Moore, Sáenz Peña and Inclán,
and other patriots who joined—
you can hear them all speak
with bold strength:
“Soldiers, we must not fear!” (repeat)
They have now gone out to battle
like thirsty lions,
to defend the flag
with heroism and fervor.
Now the bugles ring out,
the cornet and the drum;
I defend my banner
with courage on the field of honor.
Cry, cry, poor heart,
weep for those beloved souls
who died in the battle of Arica,
defending their glorious nation. (repeat)
