In memory of Salvador Allende, President of Chile, who was elected by the people and died during a military coup in 1974.
It was a good day in Santiago.
On the air-the opposite is true:
"It's raining in Santiago." And trouble
In a moment it began. As the memory of burns!
Allende Was Killed. This is the junta!
Power was taken at the cost of terror.
I was very young then,
Went, as I remember, in the first class…
It would seem that why a child
Do you know the truth about Pinochet?
But everything was so subtle in the world:
Who is a friend, who is an enemy, and who is a brother.
And again-a familiar picture:
Again on the air news about the rain.
I would like to beat out a child's fear with a wedge
From the heart where it sits like a knife…
P.S. Historical reference. The signal for the beginning of the military coup in Chile in 1974, which brought to power General Augusto Pinochet, was a harmless message on the radio: "it's raining in Santiago". Who survived this fateful day for Chile, will never forget it.
