Zamba al Che

I come singing this zamba
With libertarian drumbeat
They killed the guerrilla fighter
Che Commander Guevara
Jungles, plains, and mountains
Homeland or death his destiny

Human rights
Are violated in so many places
In Latin America
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday
They impose military rule
To subjugate the peoples
Dictators, murderers
Gorillas and generals

They exploit the peasant
The miner and the worker
So much pain their destiny
Hunger, misery, and pain
Bolívar showed the way
And Guevara followed it
To free our people
From exploitative rule

He gave glory to Cuba
Of the liberated nation
Bolivia also mourns him
His sacrificed life
Saint Ernesto of La Higuera
The peasants call him
Jungles, plains, and mountains
Homeland or death his destiny
