[Intro]
They're looking for you, Murderer!

[Verse 1]
They call me the Murderer, I was born in Barracks
If we're talking about killing, my words will kill
Not too long ago after the León Santillán fell
And now I know that at any moment they will give it to me
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
Where are you Murderer?
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)

[Verse 2]
They call me the Murderer, they're looking for me
In a cold pension I await them
Crouched down in the darkest part of my room
Rifle in hand, I wait for my end

[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
The police looks for you, Murderer
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
The police will catch you, Murderer
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)

[Chorus]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Where are you, Murderer?
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Do not go, Murderer
Murdere-r-r-r-r-r!
Oh, yeah!
(Murderer, Murderer!)

[Verse 3]
Wind of freedom, combative blood
In the pockets of the village, the old wound
Suddenly the day is dark
Rustling, runners and the knock on the door
The police force has arrived!

[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Mu- Murderer, Mu- Murderer)
Look, brother, what did you end up with?
(Ma-Matador, Mu- Murderer)
For fighting for a better world
What is that sound? They are bullets! They reach me! They catch me!
Resist! Víctor Jara, do not be silent!

[Chorus 2]
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Murderer, they are looking for you
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Murderer, they are killing you
Murdere-r-r-r-r-r!
Oh, yeah!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Brave, Murderer

[Bridge]
They call me the Murderer of the hundred neighborhoods porteños
I do not have to be afraid, my words are bullets
Bullets of peace, bullets of justice
I am the voice of those who silenced without reason
By the mere fact of thinking differently, oh God!
Santa María de los Buenos Aires, if everything were better…

[Chorus 2]
(Murderer, Murderer!)
If everything was better
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Where are you going, Murderer?
Matadooo-o-o-o-oor!
Oh, yeah!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Brave, Matador

[Outro]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
