VICTOR JARA´S BLUES
(Big Mama)
1.- Let me tell you people
`bout a man that you must know
his name was Victor Jara
and he lived a few years ago.
2.- He was born for bad luck
had misery in his shoes
and when he was a little child
he saw everybody´s blues.
3.- He grew up down in Chile
and became a real man
trying to help sisters and brothers
he was everybody´s friend.
4.- He used to sing for freedom,
self-respect and dignity
to a people that were hungry
and talked about solidarity.
5.- But they killed him on a sad day
with many others in many towns
while Pinochet´s dogs were barking
and the world was cowering down.
6.- Where are you now Victor Jara?
You tried to make a different world
I can feel it in your songs now
they killed your voice but not your soul.
