We learned to love you
From the heights of history
With the Sun of your bravery
You laid siege to Death

Chorus:

The deep (or beloved) transparency of your presence
Became clear here
Commandante Che Guevara

Your glorious and strong hand
Fires at history
When all of Santa Clara
awakens to see you

Chorus

You come burning the winds
With spring suns
To plant your flag
With the light of your smile

Chorus

Your revolutionary love
Leads you to a new undertaking
Where they are awaiting the firmness
of your liberating arm

Chorus

We will carry on
As we did along with you
And with Fidel we say to you :
Until Always, Commandante

Chorus

I've actually always been amazed at how badly that song translates.

Who wrote the song? Carlos Puebla? and uhm...is the song copyrighted? Because I was thinking about making a cover of this song.
