Mitä ne mahtoivat oudolle linnulle, | What did they do to the odd duck, |
mitä ne mahtoivat Chilen porvarit, | what did the bourgeois of Chile, |
oopperamurhaajat, pienet hitlerit, | opera house murderers, small Hitlers, |
mitä ne tekivät oudolle linnulle, | what did they do to the strange bird, |
kunnian miehelle Allendelle? | to the man of honor, to Allende? |
| |
Tappoivat tietysti CIA:n armosta, | Killed him, of course, by mercy of the CIA, |
ylijäämävaraston hienolla aseella, | with a fine surplus weapon, |
tappoivat palasen maailman sydäntä, | killed a piece of the heart of the world, |
näyttivät keltaisen hyeenan hampaan, | bared their yellow hyena teeth, |
ottivat paikkansa historiassa. | took their place in the spotlight of history. |
| |
Mitä ne luulivat saavuttavansa? | What did they think they would achieve? |
Saivat otsaansa Kainin merkin, | Got the mark of Cain burned in their foreheads, |
vastaansa kaikkien kansojen vihan, | got against them the wrath of all peoples, |
maailman vahvimman sissiliikkeen, | the mightiest of all guerrilla movements, |
sydänten punaiset armeijakunnat. | the army corps of red hearts. |
