Sing Che Guevara,
For Che he’s away,
To the forests and mountains
At the dawn on the day.

There’s fire on the mountains,
There’s fire on the hills;
There’s fire in the valleys
No tyrant can still.

And though you may lie there,
Your body all bones,
The sun also rises;
The day always dawns.

No drum to beat Lowly;
No bugle to ring;
No coffin to carry;
No songs for to sing.

No priest for to praise you;
No friends for to mourn;
But the sun also rises;
The day always dawns.
