I was wondering if anyone happnes to be fluent in spanish and would be able to translate this quote of Che's for me...

"The life of a single human being is worth millions of times more than all of the properties of the richest man on earth"

I find it to be one of his absolute best pieces of phylisophical reflectance on socialism as it would apply directly to the people he fought for. Again if anyone is fluent in spanish I would appreciate if they could post a spanish translation as I would love to have it as Che spoke it originally.

I love this quote. It sums up in a nutshell what Che was all about and what he fought for. Unfortunately I'm not fluent in Spanish though :lol:

My Spanish is terrible, but I'll try my best:

"La vida de una unica persona se vale millones veces mas que todos los propriedades del hombre mas rico del mundo"

That's my own literal version, so it's probably shorter and more concise (and better) in the original Spanish. Let us know if you find the original.

(By the way, put an accent on the "a" in "mas", "u" in "unica")

"La vida de un solo ser humano es un valor de millones de veces más que todas las propiedades del hombre más rico de la tierra"


Hasta la Victoria Siempre
