Allende presidente

The united people will never be defeated!

Allende, president,
I come to greet you,
your presence is alive
from the mountains to the sea.
Eternal in the memory
of Chile that suffered
from the treacherous infamy
of a traitorous general,
coward and murderer,
that's what I call him.

Allende, president,
you were the hope,
of a world of justice,
without hatred or revenge.
Allende, comrade,
you who resisted,
with bullets in hand,
you were right,
dignity was part
of your heart.
Who ordered the death,
Kissinger or Nixon?
They carried out the crime,
horror and betrayal,
the CIA, the fascists,
paid in Washington.
The unarmed people
had no protection,
night falls in Chile,
torture and imprisonment.

Allende, fighter,
master president,
the children of the homeland
today say "present".
The light of your memory,
loyalty, courage,
remain in history
as a prophecy.
Justice may be delayed
but it will come one day,
Chilean president,
brother, comrade,
we sing again,
with you we will overcome.

Run, run, run, run,
run, run, they will kill you!

Bolívar and Zapata,
Che, the laborers,
the poor of the earth,
show the way:
Justice, bread, work,
schools for the people.
Combatant women,
fiery like fire,
renew the trust,
firm as steel.
Thirty years have passed,
you reappear,
the traitors rot,
they will die of thirst.
Your image grows,
your ideas too.
The people never forget
those who loved them
and they write on the walls,
you bloom again.
Allende, president,
let this occasion serve;
I denounce here the infamy,
the night of terror,
of brutish jailers
imposing pain,
violating innocence.
Let them ask forgiveness
to the homeland flag,
to Víctor, to love.

I bid farewell peacefully,
friend Salvador,
other moments will come
of history and emotion.
The story doesn't end
by singing this song,
we will keep fighting
with strength, with passion,
the seed you planted
for the revolution.
