Lyrics

Apareciste en la mitología de mi amor
De la mano de mi madre
Con un acento raro y una boina tornasol
Un día me contó que ya no estabas
Y se le quebró la voz
Aprendí tu diario y tus mañas de orador
Como la Biblia moderna
Y con «Che Comandante» y la «Suite de las Américas»
Ya completé el rosario y el avemaría
De mi religión
Guevara, tú vuelves al camino con la adarga al brazo
Pintado en los pullóveres de los muchachos
O vigilante desde la pared
Por eso te llevo en mi cartera como un buen resguardo
O como la casera, estampita de un santo
Para que me proteja y me hale las orejas
Si algún día malo me olvido del Che
Tus hijos comieron del mismo pan que comí yo
Fuimos al mismo colegio
Viviste con el pueblo en su misma condición
Por eso estás al lado de Camilo
Y a la izquierda de Changó
Y a los que te utilizan como tema del sermón
Y hacen todo lo contrario
No les permitiremos mas discursos en tu honor
Ni que usen tu retrato si van a predicar
Lo que no son

Lyrics translation

You appeared in the mythology of my love
From my mother's hand
With a weird accent and a litmus beret
One day he told me you were gone.
And his voice broke
I learned your diary and your speaking skills
Like the modern Bible
And with "Che Comandante" and the " Suite of the Americas»
I've already completed the rosary and the Hail Mary
Of my religion
Guevara, you go back to the road with the arm grip
Painted on the boys ' pulloveres
Or watchman from the wall
That's why I carry you in my wallet as a good stash
Or like the landlady, a saint's stamp
To protect me and to keep my ears open
If one bad day I forget the Che
Your children ate the same bread I ate
We went to the same school
You lived with the people in the same condition
That's why you're next to Camilo.
And to the left of Chango
And those who use you as the subject of the sermon
And they do the opposite
We will not allow any more speeches in your honor
Don't let them use your portrait if they're going to preach
What they are not
