I come singing this song
with an anarchist drumroll,
they killed the guerrilla fighter
Che Commander Guevara.
Jungles, pampas and mountains
homeland or death his destiny.
They violate human rights
in so many places,
in Latin America
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
They command soldiers
to subjugate the peoples,
dictators, assassins,
thugs and generals.
They exploit the farmer,
the miner and the worker,
how painful is their destiny,
hunger, misery, and sorrow.
Bolívar gave him the path
and Guevara followed it:
to liberate our people
from exploitative control.
He gave Cuba the glory
of the liberated nation.
Bolivia cried too
for his sacrificed life.
Saint Ernesto of La Higuera
the farmers call him,
jungles, pampas and mountains
homeland or death his destiny.
