Airto your favorite major protest songwriter? (69* d) RE: your favorite major protest songwriter? 29 Sep 00


Here you go, Lena. Another triumph for search engine Google. Typing Comandante Che Guevara brought up a site containing songs about the great man. The site address:

By the way, did you know that Che had an Irish connection? His grandmother was a Lynch, from Co. Galway. I reckon his real name was Shay Kinvara.

Hasta siempre Comandante Carlos Puebla

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seguiremos adelante como junto a ti seguimos y con Fidel te decimos: hasta siempre Comandante.

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

(1965)

Esta canción fue compuesta poco de después de conocerse la carta de despedida del Che.
