Lo Eterno
Carlos Puebla
The Eternal
...Alright! Now, another guajira:
The Eternal!
I come to bring you a message
from your town that is my town:
the town says, Che Guevara,
that it's a lie that you have died.
Your presence firm and clear
like a shining star
remains alert and combative
Commander Che Guevara.
Men like you do not die
either in History or in Time.
How would they have to die
the men who are eternal!
Your presence firm and clear
like a shining star
remains alert and combative
Commander Che Guevara.
The town says, Commander,
that the steel voice continues
of your rifle ignited
throughout the entire continent.
Your presence firm and clear
like a shining star
remains alert and combative
Commander Che Guevara.
The town says, Commander,
that your legendary heart
remains steadfast in its place
seasoned and guerrilla.
Your presence firm and clear
like a shining star
remains alert and combative
Commander Che Guevara.
As you were more than a man
as you were light and example
you will live eternally
in the heart of the people.
