Así como hoy matan negros
Victor Jara
Just Like They Kill Black People Today
Just like they kill black people today
before it was Mexicans
now they’re killing Chileans,
Nicaraguans, Peruvians,
the Yanks unleashed
with inhuman instincts.
Who’s fighting for the land
and who’s standing up to them?
It’s a Chilean outlaw,
it’s our Joaquín Murieta.
One day on the sidewalk
a silk horse passed by,
now on the roads
our destiny gallops
and like two poppies
their guns went off.
