I who sang about your life
full of clean bright light,
today I sing about the grief
that leaves your departure.
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
Because of your generous gestures
Chile will become more glorious
and a much better land.
There were traitorous rifles
hidden behind the betrayal
and hands who replied
for the most cruel deeds.
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
Because of your generous gestures
Chile will become more glorious
and a much better land.
It was the rifle from abroad,
it was the fratricidal fight,
it was the shadow hidden
in the shadow of the steel.
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
Because of your generous gestures
Chile will become more glorious
and a much better land.
It was the evil, that tried
to show its intentions
and having no arguments
had to use the force.
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
Because of your generous gestures
Chile will become more glorious
and a much better land.
But it was dashed,
the hope that they were seeking.
They believed they killed you
and you’re more alive than ever.
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
Because of your generous gestures
Chile will become more glorious
and a much better land.
