Hasta Siempre

We learned to love you
from the historic height
where the sun of your bravery
put a siege on death.

Here remains the clear,
the beloved transparency,
of your dear presence
Commander Che Guevara.

Your glorious and strong hand
shoots over history
when all of Santa Clara
wakes up to see you.

You come burning the breeze
with spring suns
to plant the flag
with the light of your smile.

Your revolutionary love
leads you to new endeavors
where they await the firmness
of your liberating arm.

We will continue forward
as we have followed you
and with Fidel we say:
forever Commander.
