Querida Presencia

The most famous portrait of the 20th century
shot by Alberto Korda in 1960
Che is the legend who's haunted
young people's dreams,
mine included



Hasta siempre Comandante
(lyrics by Carlos Puebla)


Aprendimos a quererte
desde la histórica altura
donde el sol de tu bravura
le puso cerco a la muerte.

Aquí se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia,
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.

Tu mano gloriosa y fuerte
sobre la historia dispara
cuando todo Santa Clara
se despierta para verte.


Vienes que mando la brisa
con soles de primavera
para plantar la bandera
con la luz de tu sonrisa.


Tu amor revolucionario
te conduce a nueva empresa
donde esperan la firmeza
de tu brazo libertario.


Seguiremos adelante
como junto a ti seguimos
y con Fidel te decimos:!
Hasta siempre, Comandante!



Until Always

We learned to love you
from the heights of history
with the Sun of your bravery
you laid siege to Death

The deep 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

You come burning the winds
with spring suns
to plant your flag
with the light of your smile

Your revolutionary love
leads you to a new undertaking
where they are awaiting
the firmnessof your liberating arm

We will carry on
as we did along with you
and with Fidel we say to you :
Until Always, Commandante!

Αχ! Σ' ευχαριστώ από καρδιάς γιαυτό το σχόλιο! Κι είχα μείνει με το παράπονο, ότι κανείς πια δεν εκτιμάει έναν μεγάλο ονειροπόλο-επαναστάτη, κανείς δεν είχε γράψει ούτε ένα τόσο δα σχολιάκι!
Thnx from my heart!
