            PERU: THE PEOPLE'S WAR IS INVINCIBLE!

              SONG TO THE FUTURE  (POEM)

                   ON THE RUINS OF
                   THE WORLD

                   WHERE WE
                   SUFFER NOW

                   WE WILL CONSTRUCT
                   A WORLD

                   WHERE WE ALL
                   WILL ENJOY

                   And I not only say it
                   because I want to,
                   I say it because of the justice
                   of the cause I uphold.

                   To its ranks I march
                   with profound understanding,
                   since I understand its certain
                   final victory.

                    All evil will be ended

                    ON THE RUINS OF
                    THE WORLD.

                    This is why now in my song,
                    our struggles I must write
                    in order to transform
                    an immense
                    crying waves.

                    Let us end all crying
                    while together we advance,
                    to the world that we want
                    us the revolutionary masses.

                    Let us end those hours

                           WHERE WE
                          SUFFER NOW.

                    Fists and hammers
                    in the end you start fighting
                    to demolish
                    the rule of the criminals.

                    Our empty life
                    how sick and dying
                    rises up
                    against filth and corruption
                    this system of humiliation.

                    Only so with decision

                    WE WILL CONSTRUCT
                    A WORLD

                    A world where
                    never exist
                    tall green murderers,
                    a world where
                    no pain is given
                    to workers and peasants,
                    a world with one thousand paths
                    where we go in peace,
                    a world where we sing,
                    our beautiful reality,
                    a world with equality

                    WHERE ALL OF US
                    WILL ENJOY LIFE.

                    CANTO AL FUTURO

   Sobre Las Ruinas
   Del Mundo

   Donde Ahora Padecemos
   Construiremos
   Un Mundo

   Donde Todos Gozaremos

Y no lo digo tan solo
porque lo quiera decir,

lo digo por el rugir
de la causa que enarbola.

A sus filas hoy me enrolo
con sentimiento profundo,

pues comprendo lo rotundo
de su victoria final.

Terminara nuestro mal
SOBRE LAS RUINAS DEL MUNDO.

Por eso ahora en mi canto
sus luchas debo escribir

para poder convertir
en olas su inmenso llanto.

Acabese ya el quebranto
mientras juntos avancemos,

hacia el mundo que queremos
las masas trabajadoras.

Acortemos ya las horas
DONDE AHORA PADECEMOS.

Hoces, pun~os y martillos
pongase al final a golpear

para poder derrumbar
el mandato de los pillos.

Nuestros saqueados bolsillos
cuan enfermo moribundo

levantese contra el inmundo
sistema de humillacion.

Solo asi con decision
CONSTRUIREMOS UN MUNDO.

Un mundo donde no
broten
verdes tallos asesinos,

un mundo donde no azoten
a obreros y campesinos,

un mundo con mil
caminos
donde tranquilos andemos,

un mundo donde cantemos,
nuestra hermosa realidad,

un mundo con igualdad
DONDE TODOS GOZAREMOS.
