Lyrics

Vengo a traerte un recado
De tu pueblo que es mi pueblo
Dice el pueblo, Che Guevara
Que es mentira que hayas muerto
Tu presencia firme y clara
Como estrella refulgente
Sigue alerta y combatiente
Comandante Che Guevara
Hombres como tu no mueren
Ni en la historia ni en el tiempo
Como habrian do morirse
Los hombres que son eternos
Tu presencia firme y clara
Como estrella refulgente
Sigue alerta y combatiente
Comandante Che Guevara
Dice el pueblo, Comandante
Que sigue la voz de acero
De tu fusil encendido
Por el continente entero
Tu presencia firme y clara
Como estrella refulgente
Sigue alerta y combatiente
Comandante Che Guevara
Dice el pueblo, Comandante
Que sigue firme en su puesto
Tu corazon legendario
Aguerrido y guerillero
Tu presencia firme y clara
Como estrella refulgente
Sigue alerta y combatiente
Comandante Che Guevara
Como fuiste mas que un hombre
Como fuiste luz y ejemplo
Viviras eternamente
En el corazon del pueblo

Lyrics translation

I'm here to get you a message.
Of your people who are my people
Says the people, Che Guevara
It's a lie that you died
Your firm and clear presence
Like a shining star
Remain alert and combatant
Commander Che Guevara
Men like you don't die
Neither in history nor in time
As habrian do morirse
Men who are eternal
Your firm and clear presence
Like a shining star
Remain alert and combatant
Commander Che Guevara
Says the people, Commander.
Who follows the voice of steel
From your rifle on
For the whole continent
Your firm and clear presence
Like a shining star
Remain alert and combatant
Commander Che Guevara
Says the people, Commander.
Who remains firm in his post
Your legendary heart
Fierce and guerrilla
Your firm and clear presence
Like a shining star
Remain alert and combatant
Commander Che Guevara
How you were more than a man
As you were light and example
You'll live forever
In the heart of the village
