Che Guevara song

[The Living Red]

I was in a beach bar recently and they were playing a song and I realised it was all about Che Guevara.

It was a female voice, very Latin American in style and I caught snippets of lyrics: "Commandante", "Che Guevara" and "Hasta Siempre'.

That's about all the details I have. Does it sound familiar? Can anyone tell me what it's called or who sings it?

[Taiga]

It's a famous song Hasta Siempre Comandante by Carlos Puebla.
You can find it easily on the Web.
I would also recommend you the video by Natalie Cardone: Hasta Siempre Comandante (http://www.margenta.ru/mp3/natalie_cardone_hasta_siempre.avi)

Enjoy!

[El-Bortukali]

Hasta Siempre

Aprendimos a quererte
Desde la historica altura
Donde el sol de tu bravura
Le puso cerco a la muerte


Estribillo:

Aqui se queda la clara
La entraniable transparencia
De tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Gevara


Tu mano glorioso y fuerte
Sobre la historia dispara
Cuando todo Santa Clara
Se despierta para verte


Estribillo

Vienes quemando la brisa
Con soles de primavera
Para plantar la bandera
Con la luz de tu sonrisa


Estribillo

Tu amor revolucionario
Te conduce a nueva empresa
Donde esperan la firmeza
De tu brazo libertario


Estribillo

Seguiremos adelante
Como junto a ti segimos
Y con Fidel te decimos
Hasta Siempre, Comandante


Estribillo
