A Salvador Allende En Su Combate Por La Vida
Pablo Milanés
To Salvador Allende In His Fight For Life
What a lonely loneliness flooded you
At the moment when your personal
Friends of life and death
They surrounded you
What a way to rise in a hug
Hatred, betrayal, death, mud
What constituted your thought
Everything has died
What a burned life
What a dead hope
What a return to nothingness
What an end
A split sky, a broken star
They rolled inside you
This moment has come, there is nothing more
You saw yourself holding a rifle
I was flying
Far away your thoughts
Just in time
Of messages, of loyalties, of doing

Set an example
And in a short time
A new armed star

Your figure ordering birth
Those who saw you or heard you say
They don't forget you anymore
You bordered Dos Ríos and Ayacucho
Like a liberator in Chacabuco
The Andes that watched you grow
They symbolize you

You emerged perfectly from there
Never a thought of pen and word
He became such a strong champion
Existence ceased for a moment
You died just beginning to live
I was flying
Far away your thoughts
Just in time
Of messages, of loyalties, of doing
It remained
Set an example
And in a short time
A new armed star
Do
