It burned his name like a haystack As the shadow of the shadow Into the jungle he delved. days on road With her rifle and reason. Among the lianas he rested, Vipers crossed over, Powder clear clothed And the shepherds deployed Looking forces to find The dying freedom And so it was that one day fell In the mountains Commander clear. His name went up like a haystack And the ashes spread. A fierce wind took it, Along the paths he took. And in every place on earth Where he watched over by a pastor, Where a worker read And a student heard And a farmer followed He grew silent before his name. And so it is again fighting Che in the struggle of men. He is perhaps one more death But his lightning glared When burst cut His blood into two equal parts. October is Trizo Like a volcano or a blue glass, America restless hid His fury cold metal, And from the mountains to the coast He opened his bitter pain flower. And it was a surprise final And the battle that lengthens. Pastor saw: go! I'll go, Commander, go! Until victory, I go! 1969
