To Miguel and the blackbirdsIn a couple of hours the plum blossoms at Santa Fe N° 725 will bleed, to feed the condors and the goats in uniformA hunted man; a “most wanted” man - Miguel against two hundred bullets - will embrace his blackbirds for the last time Next to him: a pamphlet by Lenin, a sewing machine, and a postcard dedicated to a future with no oppressors The DINA will disappear his comrades, one by one, one by one… But not yet, not yet! First I’ll put my light blue shirt on and fly, fly through the prison bars - up to the sun's highest mast! Santiago de Chile is reborn, with the umbilical cord around its throat, on the eleventh day of the ninth month - every year since The Four Horsemen will soon ride over La Moneda, faster than the speed of sound. Flames will whip the sky into a mural of tied hands and kicked-out-teeth Generals with wolf eyes and the pale boys from Chicago are getting ready to mix a solution of rage and sulfur... But not yet, not yet! First I’ll put my light blue shirt on and fly, fly through the prison bars - up to the sun's highest mast! A photographer drops slowly down to the ground; a little girl is asking for her mother - soon she will be thrown from an unmarked aircraft, lead shoes on her feet My friends, Fenix and Salvador, will be fried alive in salpeter, far away, in Chacabuco.

He also knows Miguel The Four Horsemen will soon blow over La Moneda, pillars of smoke everywhere He who sang to the plow and the butterflies will have his fingers crushed In the football stadium thousands of copihues and hummingbirds will be killed. Red dogs must not be allowed to walk in freedom ...In a couple of hours the plum blossoms will bleed, to feed the goats and the condors in uniform. The long knives have already printed the menus! But not yet, not yet! First I’ll put my light blue shirt on and fly, fly through the prison bars - up to the sun's highest mast! An unbroken eagle - his name was Miguel - will embrace his comrades for the last time: - I'm waiting for you where dawn is laughing fearless skies into life. I'm waiting for you where darkness recedes and our song turns into a whirlwind Santiago de Chile is reborn, with the umbilical cord around its throat, on the eleventh day of the ninth month - every year since... |
