Ché’s Ghost

Lyrics

Chorus:
I saw Ché’s ghost
Upon Sierra Madre
I was wondering what hurts him most
What hits him harder

Chorus

Is it Samora’s plane
Off course for Maputo?
The engines choking in the rain
From Predoria came the ring
Of the champagne glass

Chorus

Is it a fetid flame
That burned in Santiago?
With a human name Rodrigo Rojas
But Carmen, Salvemos!

Chorus x2

Maybe it’s you and me
And the things that we let go
The fight for liberty we gave up
In our search for sweet security

Maybe it’s you and me
And the things that we let go
The fight for liberty we gave up
In our search for sweet security

Ché’s ghost, Risen in La Paz
He walks the border with Brazil
Ché’s ghost, everything he had,
You know, he gives us still

Chorus

Song Description

Che Guevara – The face on the T-shirt.
His principled stand against capitalism permeated his life and shaped everything he did. With his contagious idealism, limitless passion, and refusal to capitulate in the face of adversity, he blazed an extraordinary, revolutionary path through the second half of the twentieth century in Latin America and Africa.
