Voy a cantar el corrido de un hombre que fue a la guerra
I'm going to sing the corrido of a man who went to war
Y anduvo en la sierra herido para conquistar a su tierra
And he walked in the mountains wounded to conquer his land
Lo conocí en la batalla y entre tanta bala cera
I met him in battle and among so many wax bullets
Que él que es revolucionario puede morir donde quiera
That he who is a revolutionary can die wherever he wants
El general nos decía: peleen con mucho valor
The general told us: fight with great courage
Les vamos a dar parcela cuando haya repartición
We are going to give them plot when there is distribution
No olvidaremos el valor de Víctor Jara
We will not forget the value of Víctor Jara
Dando la cara siempre a la represión
Always facing repression
Le cotaron sus dedos y su lengua
They cut off his fingers and tongue
Y hasta la muerta gritó revolución
And even the dead woman shouted revolution
Gritó Emiliano Zapata: quiero tierra y libertad
Emiliano Zapata shouted: I want land and freedom
Y el gobierno se reía cuando le iban a enterrar
And the government laughed when they were going to bury him
Mi padre fue peón de hacienda y yo un revolucionario
My father was a farm laborer and I was a revolutionary
Mis hijos pusieron tiendas y mi nieto es funcionario
My children set up shops and my grandson is a civil servant
Vuela, vuela, palomita, pósate en aquella higuera
Fly, fly, little dove, land on that fig tree
Que aquí se acaba el corrido del mentado juan sin tierra
That here ends the run of the aforementioned Juan Sin Tierra
No olvidaremos el valor de Víctor Jara
We will not forget the value of Víctor Jara
Dando la cara siempre a la represión
Always facing repression
Le cortaron sus dedos y su lengua
They cut off his fingers and tongue
Y hasta la muerte gritó revolución
And until death he shouted revolution
Revolución, revolución, Víctor Jara cantó
Revolution, revolution, Víctor Jara sang
