para matar a tu hermano
No sabes quien es el muerto, soldadito boliviano
el muerto es el Che Guevara, y era argentino y cubano

de luto pero no llora, aunque llorar es humano
aunque llorar es humano, soldadito de Bolivia
aunque llorar es humano
No llora por que la hora, soldadito boliviano
no es de lágrima y pañuelo, sino de machete en mano
sino de machete en mano, soldadito de Bolivia
sino de machete en mano
Con el cobre que te paga, soldadito boliviano
que te vendes que te pagas, es lo que piensa el tirano
es lo que piensa el tirano, soldadito de Bolivia
es lo que piensa el tirano
Pero aprenderás seguro, soldadito boliviano
que a un hermano no se mata, que no se mata a un hermano
que no se mata a un hermano, soldadito de Bolivia
que no se mata a un hermano
que no se mata a un hermano
