Iosif Kobzon - Памяти Че Гевары versuri traducere în engleză

In memoriam Che Guevara

In Chile, in the city of Santiago, a statue of Ernesto Che Guevara was removed from its pedestal and sent to be melted down.
 
Che Guevara is being tortured again,
what do you torment metal?!
At the stake, above the criminal dogs,
he remains silent, as he would when alive.
 
They torture him red, white hot
but only his heart became translucent.
The outlines of the sculpture melt,
but they can't manage to destroy1 him!
 
I am Ernesto, the son of light,
I rose from oblivion,
And I shall glow red
forever more!2
 
There is no such melting point,
you won't find such furnaces!
Freedom has patience to boot,
instead of moans, a stream of light.
 
But on the square, in naked horror,
where not a speck of dust remains3,
the black wind of terror stirs
a forest of resurrected hands!
 
I am Ernesto, the son of light,
I rose from oblivion,
And I shall glow red
forever more!
 
Che Guevara is being tortured again,
what do you torment metal?!
At the stake, above the criminal dogs,
he remains silent, as he would when alive.
 
They torture him red, white hot
but only his heart became translucent.
The outlines of the sculpture melt,
but they can't manage to destroy him!
 
I am Ernesto, the son of light,
I rose from oblivion,
And I shall glow red
forever more!
 
I shall walk the earth again,
all out in struggle and love
for Allende and Neruda,
and in blood-drenched sunlight!4
 

• 1. 'melt him down' but I couldn't find two different words in English
• 2. 'I will never get out of my red state/condition'
• 3. I suspect the expression is idiomatic but I'd welcome native help on this
• 4. not quite sure of that line either
