Hasta Siempre Comandante! – (Music Video of the Week)
Music Video of the Week, 6 Jul 2026
socialistagenda – TRANSCEND Media Service
This piece is dedicated to the patron saint of freedom fighters worldwide – Che Guevara. The capitalists siphoned away the wealth of US working class. This is simply a final effort to consolidate world wealth into the hands of billionaires. Have we been bred to be so passive in recent years that no one no longer has the desire to stand up against tyranny?
Lyrics/Music: Carlos Puebla, 1965 (Cuba)
Hasta Siempre Comandante! [Castellano] (English below)
Aprendimos a quererte
desde la histórica altura
donde el sol de tu bravura
le puso cerco a la muerte.
Estribillo:
Aquí se queda la clara,
la entrañable transparencia,
de tu querida presencia
Comandante Che Guevara.
Tu mano gloriosa y fuerte
sobre la historia dispara
cuando todo Santa Clara
se despierta para verte.
Estribillo
Vienes quemando la brisa
con soles de primavera
para plantar la bandera
con la luz de tu sonrisa.
Estribillo
Tu amor revolucionario
te conduce a nueva empresa
donde esperan la firmeza
de tu brazo libertario.
Estribillo
Seguiremos adelante
como junto a ti seguimos
y con Fidel te decimos:
!Hasta siempre, Comandante!
Estribillo
Until Always Commander! [English]
We learned to love you
from the heights of history
with the sun of your bravery
you laid siege to death
Chorus:
The deep (or beloved) transparency of your presence
became clear here
Comandante Che Guevara
Your glorious and strong hand
fires at history
when all of Santa Clara
awakens to see you
Chorus
You come burning the winds
with spring suns
to plant the flag
with the light of your smile
Chorus
Your revolutionary love
leads you to a new undertaking
where they are awaiting the firmness
of your liberating arm
Chorus
We will carry on
as we did along with you
and with Fidel we say to you:
Until Always, Comandante!
Chorus
