[English]

We are the voice that comes from the soul

The embrace of my people

We are a voice that shouts when everyone is silent

We are

The smile of a grandfather

The caress of a brother

We are distance and we are art

We are a voice and a flag

A heart that does not give up

We are the time that heals your sorrows

We are one race

The dream that is achieved, we are

We are the voice of Chile

It's that we are the street

We are warriors

We are the voice and the heart of an entire country

And it's that we are Latinos

We are warriors

Latin American and we are going to shout it to the whole world

Hoooooo

We are the voice of Chile

Hoooooo

We are the voice of Chile

No one can take our faith away

We didn't come here to lose

We came to give it all

Because music can do everything

A little wine in the park with family

And the people from the neighborhood that we don't forget

A beer to kill the sun

A little waist to die of love

And singing, everything fades away while singing

The bad things are forgotten while singing

Life is more beautiful while singing

Singing, everything fades away while singing

The bad things go away while singing

Life is more beautiful while singing

It's that we are the street

We are warriors

We are the voice and the heart of an entire country

And it's that we are Latinos

We are warriors

Latin American and we are going to shout it to the whole world

Hoooooo

We are the voice of Chile

Hoooooo

We are the voice of Chile

We are the voice that comes from the soul

The embrace of my people

We are a voice that shouts when everyone is silent

We are

The smile of a grandfather

The caress of a brother, we are

We are distance and we are art

We are a voice and a flag

A heart that does not give up

We are the time that heals your sorrows

We are one race

A dream that is achieved, we are

What are we?

We are the voice of Chile

It's that we are the street

We are warriors

We are the voice and the heart of an entire country

And it's that we are Latinos

We are warriors

Latin American and we are going to shout it to the whole world

Hoooooo

We are the voice of Chile

Hoooooo

We are the voice of Chile

[Spanish]

Somos la voz que sale desde el alma

El abrazo de mi gente

Somos una voz que grita cuando todos callan

Somos

La sonrisa de un abuelo

La caricia de un hermano

Somos distancia y somos arte

Somos una voz y una bandera

Un corazón que no se rinde

Somos el tiempo que te cura las penas

Somos una misma raza somos

El sueño que se alcanza somos

Somos la voz de chile

Es que somos la calle

Somos guerreros

Somos la voz y el corazón de un país entero

Y es que somos latinos

Somos guerreros

Latinoamericano y vamos a gritárselo al mundo entero

Hoooooo

Somos la voz de chile

Hoooooo

Somos la voz de chile

No hay quien nos quite la fe

Aquí no se vino a perder

Vinimos pa entregarlo todo

Porque la música lo puede todo

Un vinito en el parque con la familia

Y la gente del barrio que no se olvida

Una cervecita pa matar el sol

Una cinturita pa morir de amor

Y cantando todo se quita cantando

Lo malo se te olvida cantando

La vida es mas bonita cantando

Cantando todo se quita cantando

Lo malo se te quita cantando

La vida es mas bonita cantando

Es que somos la calle

Somos guerreros

Somos la voz y el corazón de un país entero

Y es que somos latinos

Somos guerreros

Latinoamericano y vamos a gritárselo al mundo entero

Hoooooo

Somos la voz de chile

Hoooooo

Somos la voz de chile

Somos la voz que sale desde el alma

El abrazo de mi gente

Somos una voz que grita cuando todos callan

Somos

La sonrisa de un abuelo

La caricia de un hermano somos

Somos distancia y somos arte

Somos una voz y una bandera

Un corazón que no se rinde

Somos el tiempo que te cura las penas

Somos una misma raza somos

Un sueño que se alcanza somos

¿Qué somos?

Somos la voz de chile

Es que somos la calle

Somos guerreros

Somos la voz y el corazón de un país entero

Y es que somos latinos

Somos guerreros

Latinoamericano y vamos a gritárselo al mundo entero

Hoooooo

Somos la voz de chile

Hoooooo

Somos la voz de chile
