Hamba Kahle, Comandante Chavez!

…

The light may have gone out from your eyes, Comandante,
but the torch you lit,
remains ablaze.

…

You may have passed away from this mortal life, Comandante,
but you have passed on,
your immortal ideals.

…

Today our hearts are heavy with sorrow, Comandante,
yet you left our hearts so much heavier,
with hopes of a more just tomorrow.

…

The light may have gone out from your eyes, Comandante,

…

but you live!

…

You live!

…


Hasta la Victoria Siempre,

Comandante!

Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias (1955 – 2013)
