《Victor Jara(Live at The Point， 2006)》歌词

[00:00:00] Victor Jara (Live) - Christy Moore

[00:00:12] Victor Jara of Chile lived like a shooting star

[00:00:15] He fought for the people of Chile with his songs and

[00:00:21] His guitar

[00:00:23] His hands were gentle and his hands were strong

[00:00:29] Victor Jara was a peasant boy barely six years old

[00:00:35] He sat upon his father's plough and watched the earth

[00:00:39] Unfold

[00:00:46] When the neighbours had a wedding or one of their

[00:00:50] Children died

[00:00:52] His mother sang all night to them with Victor by her

[00:00:56] Side

[00:01:04] He grew up to be a fighter stood against what was wrong

[00:01:10] He learned of peoples grief and joy and turned it into

[00:01:14] Song

[00:01:22] He sang for the copper miners and those who farmed the

[00:01:28] Land

[00:01:29] He sang for the factory workers who knew Victor was

[00:01:34] Their man

[00:01:41] He campaigned for Allende canvassed night and day

[00:01:45] Singing take hold of your brother's hand the future

[00:02:00] Starts today

[00:02:01] When Pinochet seized Chile they arrested Victor then -

[00:02:05] They caged him in the stadium with 5000 frightened men

[00:02:08] Victor picked up his guitar his voice resounded strong

[00:02:10] And he sang for his comrades till the guards cut short

[00:02:12] His song

[00:02:14] They broke the bones in both his hands and beat him on

[00:02:18] The head

[00:02:20] Tortured him with electric wires then they shot him

[00:02:24] Dead

[00:02:32] Victor Jara of Chile lived like a shooting star

[00:02:38] He fought for the people of Chile with his songs and

[00:02:41] His guitar

[00:02:43] His hands were gentle and his hands were strong
