Comrade President

(Dedicated to President Salvador Allende)

All the immense joy
of giving your great effort
to the mineral, the mountain,
to the wheat and the ferns,
comrade President.

In the darkness and the shadow,
in the light and in the silence
proud verses run
in the throats of the people,
comrade President.

The feat of breaking the chains and yokes, of lighting the just fire and sitting down as friends,
comrade President.

And let the day begin
to build our world
where yesterday there was anguish
now is a fertile river,
comrade President.

And let now sing free
the heart of your people
who waited patiently
on the sidewalk of time,
comrade President.

And the brigades came out, the mothers, the students, workers and militants to celebrate the day,
comrade President,
comrade!
