Camilo Torres

Where Camilo fell
a cross was born,
but not made of wood
but of light.

They killed him as he went
for his rifle,
Camilo Torres dies
to live.

They say that after the bullet
a voice was heard.
It was God shouting:
Revolution!

To review the cassock,
my general,
because in the guerrilla
a sacristan fits.

They nailed him with bullets
on a cross,
they called him a bandit
like Jesus.

And when they went down
for his rifle,
they found that the people
have a hundred thousand.

A hundred thousand Camilos ready
to fight,
Camilo Torres dies
to live.
