This is a jazzy version of the song,"Hasta Siempre Comandante",a beautiful song by Carlos Puebla with emotional lyrics which are a tribute to Che Gevara. The song inevitably feels like a lament for his death. Jazzier than the original version that we know.
VOICE 1: We learned to love you from the historic heights where the sun of your bravery encircled death. Your glorious and strong hand fires upon history when all of Santa Clara awakens to see you. CHORUS: Here remains the clear, the endearing transparency of your beloved presence, Commander Che Guevara. VOICE 1: You come burning the breeze with spring suns to plant the flag with the light of your smile. CHORUS: Here remains the clear, the endearing transparency of your beloved presence, Commander Che Guevara. VOICE 1: Your revolutionary love leads you to a new endeavor, where the firmness of your liberating arm awaits. We will continue forward as we continued alongside you, and with Fidel we say to you: Until forever, Commander. CHORUS: Here remains the clear, the endearing transparency of your beloved presence, Commander Che Guevara.
VOZ 1: Aprendimos a quererte
desde la histórica altura
donde el sol de tu bravura
le puso cerco a la muerte.
Tu mano gloriosa y fuerte
sobre la historia dispara
cuando toda Santa Clara
se despierta para verte.
CORO: Aquí
se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia
de tu querida presencia
Comandante
Che Guevara.
VOZ 1: Vienes quemando la brisa
con soles de primavera
para plantar la bandera
con la luz de tu sonrisa.
CORO: Aquí
se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia
de tu querida presencia
Comandante
Che Guevara.
VOZ 1: Tu amor revolucionario,
te conduce a nueva empresa,
donde esperan la firmeza
de tu brazo libertario.
Seguiremos a delante
como junto a ti seguimos
y con Fidel te decimos:
Hasta siempre
Comandante
CORO: Aquí
se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia
de tu querida presencia
