Lyrics

Nuestro mЎs sincero homenaje a toda una vida de lucha por la libertad
Voy a cantar el corrido de un hombre que fue a la guerra
y anduvo en la sierra herido para conquistar su tierra.
Lo conoc­ en la batalla y entre tanta bala cera
que el que es revolucionario puede morir donde quiera.
El General nos dec­a: peleen con mucho valor
les vamos a dar parcela cuando haya reparticiіn.
No olvidaremos el valor de V­ctor Jara
dando la cara siempre a la represiіn.
Le cortaron sus dedos y su lengua
y hasta la muerte gritі revoluciіn.
Gritі Emiliano Zapata: quiero tierra y libertad
y el Gobierno se re­a cuando le iban a enterrar.
Mi padre fu© peіn de hacienda y yo un revolucionario,
mis hijos pusieron tiendas y mi nieto es funcionario.
Vuela, vuela palomita. Pіsate en aquella higuera
que aqu­ se acaba el corrido del mentado JUAN SIN TIERRA.
No olvidaremos el valor…
Revoluciіn, revoluciіn, revoluciіn,
V­ctor Jara cantі. (bis)

Lyrics translation

Our mYs heartfelt tribute to a lifetime of freedom struggle
I'm going to sing the corrido of a man who went to war
and he walked in the wounded sierra to conquer his land.
I know him in battle and between so many bullet wax
that he who is revolutionary can die wherever he wants.
General deca us: fight with great courage
we'll give them a plot when the deal is done.
We will not forget the value of Vctor Jara
always facing repression.
They cut off his fingers and his tongue.
and to death cry revolution.
Griti Emiliano Zapata: I want land and freedom
and the government rea when he was going to be buried.
My father was a tax collector and I was a revolutionary,
my children set up tents and my grandson is a civil servant.
Fly, fly pigeon. Step on that fig tree
that here ends the run of the mentado JUAN sin TIERRA.
We won't forget the value…
Revolution, Revolution, Revolution,
Vctor Jara canti. (bis)
