Víctor Jara
Victor Jara - Zamba Del Che (English Translation)
I come singing this samba
To remember the libertarian
The guerrilla who was murdered
Commander Che Guevara
The forests, grasslands and mountains
Are markers for the country of his death
Human rights
That has been violated in so many parts
Of Latin America
On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
We are under military rule
That subjugate the people
Dictators, murderers
Guerillas and generals
They exploit the peasant
The miner and the worker
To inflict pain is their goal
Poverty, hunger and pain
Bolivar showed us the way
Guevara and others followed:
To free our people
From domination and exploitation
A Cuba gave the glorious call
Of a liberated nation
Bolivia cries
Remembering his sacrificed life
Saint Ernesto of La Higuera
Calls upon the peasants
The forests, grasslands and mountains
Their destination country or death
