Isn’t that the truth!!!!
Wine bottle opened and a small toast to everyone. We still have 6 more men to bring up!
Me too!
Has the Chilean President even spet the last few days at all?
Signing the Chilean National Anthem ...
Spanish original
Puro, Chile, es tu cielo azulado
Puras brisas te cruzan también.
Y tu campo de flores bordado
Es la copia feliz del Edén.
Majestuosa es la blanca montaña
Que te dio por baluarte el Señor
Que te dio por baluarte el Señor,
Y ese mar que tranquilo te baña
Te promete un futuro esplendor
Y ese mar que tranquilo te baña
Te promete un futuro esplendor.
Coro
Dulce Patria, recibe los votos
Con que Chile en tus aras juró:
Que o la tumba serás de los libres
O el asilo contra la opresión
Que o la tumba serás de los libres
O el asilo contra la opresión
Que o la tumba serás de los libres
O el asilo contra la opresión
O el asilo contra la opresión
O el asilo contra la opresión.
Translation
Pure, Chile, is your blue sky;
Pure breezes cross you as well.
And your flower-embroidered field
Is the happy copy of Eden.
Majestic is the white mountain
That was given to you as a bastion by the Lord
That was given to you as a bastion by the Lord
And that sea that calmly washes your shores
Promises you a future splendor
And that sea that calmly washes your shores
Promises you a splendid future.
Chorus
Sweet fatherland, accept the vows
With which Chile swore at your altars:
Either the tomb of the free will you be
Or the refuge against oppression
Either the tomb of the free will you be
Or the refuge against oppression
Either the tomb of the free will you be
Or the refuge against oppression
Or the refuge against oppression
Or the refuge against oppression.
I bet what ever we have couldn’t lead our anthem!
Are all the rescuers down in the mine out also? Be interesting what the last rescuer is thinking when he is all alone down there, waiting for the rescue vehicle to come and get him?
yes rockabye...it is sweet!!
What wonderful people!
That was quite an operation. I give a lot of credit to those who made it happen. God bless them all!
This event has given me the same kind of joy and hope I felt after Capt. Sulley(?) landed the plane on the Hudson in the dark days shortly after the 2008 election.
Thanks for posting the words - that’s beautiful!
Praise be to God.
More than awesome to see!
whatever we have probably doesn’t even know the damn words!
Ours would break into a muslim call to prayer or something. Meh
Nope the rescuers are still down there
Sadly, I’m sure that’s right.......I’ll bet he doesn’t know our anthem at all.
Woud absolutely LOVE to know what comes after Chi! Chie! Chie! Le! Le! Le! ...wish I knew what they’re saying after that! Just love that chant!
Los Mineros de Chile!
I can't imagine the logistics...and God bless the families, the men who held it all together for all of those days...God truly answers prayers! This has probably been mentioned already, but I heard on the radio today that several came to believe in God while they were down there. "All things work together..."
