ESTADIO CHILE
We are 5,000 — here in this little part of the city
We are 5,000 — how many more will there be?
In the whole city, and in the country 10,000 hands
Which could seed the fields, make run the factories.
How much humanity — now with hunger, pain, panic and terror?
There are six of us — lost in space among the stars,
One dead, one beaten like I never believed a human could be so beaten.
The other four wanting to leave all the terror,
One leaping into space, other beating their heads against the wall
All with gazes fixed on death.
The military carry out their plans with precision;
Blood is medals for them, Slaughter is the badge of heroism.
Oh my God — is this the world you created?
Was it for this, the seven days, of amazement and toil?
The blood of companero Presidente is stronger than bombs
Is stronger than machine guns.
O you song, you come out so badly when I must sing — the terror!
What I see I never saw. What I have felt, and what I feel must come out!
"Hara brotar el momento! Hara brotar el momento!"

They have surely won over
The land and air and the sea
With the help of an Army
Armed with lethal weapons and artillery
From north to south and east to west
Market, market and market
Endless sales to make
Pr… Continue

A tree still grows towards the light
And through the obstacles of stones and sands
It's roots will reach the water deep beneath..."

Rebirth
Towards the soldiers guarding the capital worldwide
You were not born with a rifle I guess
Perhaps you have long forgotten
The uniform you put on your body
Is not exactly your skin
I can't see your hair
For they are always covered
With a metal helmet
Hard and ugly
And those heavy boots
That never notices
The earth under your feet
And they keep telling you
How vital are all these
For you are a soldier
Guarding your land from enemy
And they give you all the bullets
You nee… Continue

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by Woody Guthrie
(Chorus)
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made… Continue
