letra de victor jara - christy moore
victor jara
arlo guthrie/a. mitch-ll
victor jara of chile lived like a shooting star
he fought for the people of chile with his songs and
his guitar
his hands were gentle and his hands were strong
victor jara was a peasant boy barely six years old
he sat upon his father’s plough and watched the earth
unfold
when the neighbours had a wedding or one of their
children died
his mother sang all night to them with victor by her
side
he grew up to be a fighter stood against what was wrong
he learned of peoples grief and joy and turned it into
song
he sang for the copper miners and those who farmed the
land
he sang for the factory workers who knew victor was
their man
he campaigned for allende canv-ssed night and day
singing take hold of your brother’s hand the future
starts today
when pinochet seized chile they arrested victor then –
they caged him in the stadium with 5000 frightened men
victor picked up his guitar his voice resounded strong
and he sang for his comrades till the guards cut short
his song
they broke the bones in both his hands and beat him on
the head
tortured him with electric wires then they shot him
dead
victor jara of chile lived like a shooting star
he fought for the people of chile with his songs and
his guitar
his hands were gentle and his hands were strong
