Remembering Che's Hopes

Today is 39 years to the day of Che's execution. I may not be for guerilla fighting, but I greatly admire the ideals that he was fighting for, that is, to lessen poverty and injustice, to change the world for the better.

Here is a video with a new version of the old song, Hasta Siempre:

I'm not sure if the video footage of his body is real...I know their were pictures of his body like that, but not sure about the video...if anyone knows please post a comment.

You can find more info about Che here:

Anyway, here are the lyrics in Spanish from an older version..I think they are the same in the video but haven't checked:

Hasta Siempre

Aprendimos a quererte
Desde la histórica altura
Donde del sol de tu bravura
Le puso un cerco a la muerte

Aquí se queda
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 quemando 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!"
