Elegia a Salvador Allende - Carlos Puebla

To Rate
Verse 1
I who sang for your life
Full of clear and pure light
Today I sing for the bitterness
That your departure leaves us

Chorus
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
From your generous gesture
Will emerge higher and more glorious
A much better Chile

Verse 2
They were traitorous rifles
That they were hiding in betrayal
And hands that responded
To the cruelest grudges

Chorus
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
From your generous gesture
Will emerge higher and more glorious
A much better Chile

Verse 3
It was the foreign rifle
It was fratricidal resentment
It was the hidden shadow
In the shadow of steel
Chorus
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
From your generous gesture
Will emerge higher and more glorious
A much better Chile

Verse 4
It was the resentment that is strength
To show your intentions
Since they had no reasons
They had to use force

Chorus
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
From your generous gesture
Will emerge higher and more glorious
A much better Chile

Verse 5
But it has been truncated
The hope they were looking for
They thought they were killing you
And you are more alive than ever

Chorus
Oh Salvador Allende, Salvador!
From your generous gesture
Will emerge higher and more glorious
A much better Chile
