Hasta la Victoria
Violeta Parra
Until Victory
I am Ramón
that one who breaks the chains.
Chisel, solar faith
that ignites the bonfires.
Fundamental cry
the voice of justice
the one who turns the gentle breeze
into a raging storm.
I am Ramón
that one who lives beyond.
Let the oppressive executioner tremble,
the insatiable vulture of evil.
Behind death, I am Ramón
until the final victory.
I am Ramón,
the light of the oppressed.
The flesh, blood, and skin
of the redeemed man.
I am the lion that goes
crossing the mountain,
through hills and ravines
roaring freedom.
I am Ramón,
that one who will never die.
Let the oppressive executioner tremble,
the insatiable vulture of evil.
Behind death, I am Ramón
until the final victory.
