The Death Of Victor Jara

In a gunboat outside Santiago the Americans received the news:
"Allende is dead", and the generals said
"We've made a successful coup."

In the stadium Victor Jara was recognized by a soldier in charge.
"Are you here to sing?" "Yes I am here to sing."
They took him under guard.

And the years will pass, and the memories fade
and the hands of the poet still forever wave.
Oh, the years will pass, Victor Jara's dead
but the hands of the poet, I can't forget.
No, I can't forget.

With knives they cut off the fingers that were made to play the guitar.
Six thousand saw his hands bleeding raw.
"Sing now," the soldiers snarled.

And the years will pass, and the memories fade
and the hands of the poet still forever wave.
Oh, the years will pass, Victor Jara's dead.
But the hands of the poet, they're bleeding yet.
They're bleeding yet.

With his bleeding hands he led them, six thousand united in song;
but the soldiers most fear a vision so clear.
They machine gunned every one of them down.

And the years will pass, and the memories fade
and the hands of the poet still forever wave.
Oh, the years will pass, Victor Jara's dead.
But the hands of the poet, they're waving yet.
They're waving yet.

Independently of the subject of the song. The melody, the singer, quiete good, very good. Besides brave cuz I guess the band is from the States. Then, the work dedicate to this chilean poet-musicuan-director, deserve a great deal of recognition.
Talent and smart people.

Thanks to Rod MacDonald Band for this emotive and expressive homage to Victor Jara. Solidarity gives and receives. Victor Jara lives in the memory of millions because he was an honest man who gave and help the poor and the exploited. I love you song.

Hoy estando en un lugar cerca de kinston. sentado fuera de un garaje una mujer se acercó y trato de hablar pero yo no sé hablar en su idioma.
Pero a trancados me transmitió que tenía un amigo que había compuesto un tema para Víctor y así llegue a esta linda y buena canción felicitaciones.!

11-SEPTIEMBRE-1973....Que hermoso homenaje a nuestro gran referente poético y musical "VICTOR JARA" de nuestra indolente y miserable patria llamada “chile”.. Mis más sinceros agradecimientos y saludos para todos y aclarando que, a pesar de que los soldados mandados por sus generales lo masacraron y torturaron hasta MATARLO, su imagen y recuerdo aún vive y es presente para todo un país sometido por la riqueza y las armas. Pero más pronto que tarde, nuestro destino será reconfortado y estas atrocidades jamás serán olvidadas y sanadas. Gracias Rod MacDonal Band por este legado lleno de necesidad de justicia y venganza "noble" no que mueran en vida, pero que si, los culpables mueran en su vergüenza y orgullo!!!

Chileans army not only kills Victor, they also killed people’s patience. Victor Jara lives in every Chilean song.
