Un ojo dejé en Los Lagos
I left an eye in Los Lagos through a casual oversight, the other was dropped in Parral in a den of drink; I remember all the wreckage my soul witnessed as a child, miseries and treacheries knot themselves through my thoughts, between the waters and the wind I lose myself in the distance. My right arm fell behind in Buin dear gentlemen listening, the other in San Vicente was slipped, I don't know to what end; my chest, in Caracautín where I see it in a small garden, my two hands in Maitencillo are saluting in Pelequén, my skirt in Perquilauquén is catching schools of small fish. One foot got tangled in San Rosendo while crossing a street corner, the other in Quiriquina is sinking into the ocean, my heart, so discontented, beats with sorrow in Temuco, it has cried for me in Calbuco, from the cold of a frost, I go and straighten my march to the slope of Chacabuco. I leave my nerves in Granero, my blood in San Sebastián, and in the city of Chillán my calm dropped to zero, my kidney in Cabrero destroys a promenade, and on a street in Itata my instrument broke on me, I set off to Nacimiento one silvery morning. Disembarking in Riñihue Violeta Parra was seen, without strings on her guitar, without leaves on her bamboo; a band of chirigüe birds came to offer her a concert; with her little brother Roberto and Cochepe they form a trio that sings on the river's shore to the come-and-go of the ports.
Violeta Parra, Décimas: Autobiography in Verse (1976) Translation by myself, with help from a friend
Original Spanish below the cut:
Un ojo dejé en Los Lagos
Un ojo dejé en Los Lagos por un descuido casual, el otro quedó en Parral en un boliche de tragos; recuerdo que mucho estrago de niña vio el alma mía, miserias y alevosías anudan mis pensamientos, entre las aguas y el viento me pierdo en la lejanía. Mi brazo derecho en Buin quedó, señores oyentes, el otro por San vicente quedó, no sé con qué fin; mi pecho en Caracautín lo veo en un jardincillo, mis manos en Maitencillo saludan en Pelequén, mi falda en Perquilauquén recoge unos pececillos. Se m'enredó en San Rosendo un pie al cruzar una esquina, el otro en la Quiriquina se me hunde mares adentro, mi corazón descontento latió con pena en Temuco, y me ha llorado en Calbuco, de frío por una escarcha, voy y enderezo mi marcha a la cuesta 'e Chacabuco. Mis nervios dejo en Granero, la sangr' en San Sebastián, y en la cuidad de Chillán la calma me bajó a cero, mi riñonada en Cabrero destruye una caminata, y en una calle de Itata se me rompió el estrumento, y endilgo pa' Nacimiento una mañana de plata. Desembarcando en Riñihue se vio la Violeta Parra, sin cuerdas en la guitarra, sin hojas en el colihue; una bandá' de chirigües le vino a dar un concierto; con su hermanito Roberto y Cochepe forman un trío que cant' a l'orilla 'el río y en el vaivén de los puertos.
