Zamba del Che [English translation]

I come singing this song

with an anarchist drumroll,

they killed the guerrilla fighter

Che Commander Guevara.

Jungles, pampas and mountains

homeland or death his destiny.

They violate human rights

in so many places,

in Latin America

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

They command soldiers

to subjugate the peoples,

dictators, assassins,

thugs and generals.

They exploit the farmer,

the miner and the worker,

how painful is their destiny,

hunger, misery, and sorrow.

Bolívar gave him the path

and Guevara followed it:

to liberate our people

from exploitative control.

He gave Cuba the glory

of the liberated nation.

Bolivia cried too

for his sacrificed life.

Saint Ernesto of La Higuera

the farmers call him,

jungles, pampas and mountains

homeland or death his destiny.
