In remembrance of General Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte (25 November 1915 - 10 December 2006)
Music: Adios Mi General (Chilean military song originaly dedicated to the Chilean President and General Manuel Baquedano)
I
Adiós mi general, adiós
Se pierde en lontananza el sol
Y con el último redoble del tambor
se escucha aún el eco de su voz
II
Adiós mi general, adiós
Quiero cerrar filas otra vez
En ese Ejército que invicto comandó
Y que mil glorias a la patria le entregó
Coro
Adiós mi general, adiós
La página que hoy día se cerró
Se abre allá en la historia, como ráfagas de sol
justo en el umbral donde se encuentran
Los valientes, los que se atreven
Los que jamás se han de olvidar
III
Adiós mi general, adiós
El grito que en Chorrillos se escuchó
¡Viva Baquedano vencedor!
Y que del pecho del soldado se
escapó
IV
Adiós mi general, adiós
Solo soy un ciudadano más
Que deudor de su grandeza y sencillez
Hoy vino a despedirlo Don Manuel
Coro
Adiós mi general, adiós
La página que hoy día se cerró
Se abre allá en la historia, como ráfagas de sol
justo en el umbral donde se encuentran
Los valientes, los que se atreven
Los que jamás se han de olvidar
I
Goodbye my general, goodbye
The sun is lost in the distance
And with the last drum roll
An echo of his voice is still heard
II
Goodbye my general, goodbye
I want to close the ranks one more time
In this army which you lead without defeat
And which brought a thousand glories to the fatherland
Chorus
Goodbye my general, goodbye
The page that was closed today
Is open there in history like bursts of sun
Pure like the sun in the threshold where they find them
The brave, the daring
The ones who never have to be forgotten
III
Goodbye my general, goodbye
A scream that was heard in Chorrillos
Long live Baquedano the victor!
Which escaped from a soldiers chest
IV
Goodbye my general, goodbye
I am only a citizen
Whats more, a debtor to your greatness and simplicity
Today I came to part with Don Manuel
Chorus
Goodbye my general, goodbye
The page that was closed today
Is open there in history like bursts of sun
Pure like the sun in the threshold where they find them
The brave, the daring
The ones who never have to be forgotten
