Translation of the song lyrics Lo eterno - Carlos Puebla

Lo eterno (original)

Vengo a traerte un recado
De tu pueblo que es mi pueblo
Dice el pueblo, Che Guevara
Que es mentira que hayas muerto
Tu presencia firme y clara
Como estrella refulgente
Sigue alerta y combatiente
Comandante Che Guevara
Hombres como tu no mueren
Ni en la historia ni en el tiempo
Como habrian do morirse
Los hombres que son eternos
Tu presencia firme y clara
Como estrella refulgente
Sigue alerta y combatiente
Comandante Che Guevara
Dice el pueblo, Comandante
Que sigue la voz de acero
De tu fusil encendido
Por el continente entero
Tu presencia firme y clara
Como estrella refulgente
Sigue alerta y combatiente
Comandante Che Guevara
Dice el pueblo, Comandante
Que sigue firme en su puesto
Tu corazon legendario
Aguerrido y guerillero
Tu presencia firme y clara
Como estrella refulgente
Sigue alerta y combatiente
Comandante Che Guevara
Como fuiste mas que un hombre
Como fuiste luz y ejemplo
Viviras eternamente
En el corazon del pueblo

Lo eterno (translation)

I come to bring you a message
Of your town that is my town
The people say, Che Guevara
that it is a lie that you died
Your firm and clear presence
like a shining star
Stay alert and combative
Commander Che Guevara
Men like you don't die
Neither in history nor in time
How would they have died?
The men who are eternal
Your firm and clear presence
like a shining star
Stay alert and combative
Commander Che Guevara
Say the people, Commander
That follows the voice of steel
of your fired rifle
for the entire continent
Your firm and clear presence
like a shining star
Stay alert and combative
Commander Che Guevara
Say the people, Commander
That he remains firm in his position
your legendary heart
Battle-hardened and guerrilla
Your firm and clear presence
like a shining star
Stay alert and combative
Commander Che Guevara
How were you more than a man?
as you were light and example
you will live forever
In the heart of the town
