Joe Hill

Soñé que vi a Joe Hill anocheI dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Vivo como tú o como yoAlive as you or me
Digo, 'Pero Joe, tienes diez años muerto'Says I, "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
'Nunca morí', dice él"I never died," says he
'Nunca morí', dice él"I never died," says he

'En Salt Lake, Joe', le digo a él"In Salt Lake, Joe," says I to him
Él parado junto a mi camaHim standing by my bed
'Te incriminaron por un cargo de asesinato'"They framed you on a murder charge"
Dice Joe, 'Pero no estoy muerto'Says Joe, "But I ain't dead"
Dice Joe, 'Pero no estoy muerto'Says Joe, "But I ain't dead"

'Los jefes de cobre te mataron, Joe"The copper bosses killed you, Joe
Te dispararon, Joe', le digo yoThey shot you, Joe," says I
'Hace falta más que armas para matar a un hombre'"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Dice Joe, 'No morí'Says Joe, "I didn't die"
Dice Joe, 'No morí'Says Joe, "I didn't die"

Y allí de pie tan grande como la vidaAnd standing there as big as life
Y sonriendo con sus ojosAnd smiling with his eyes
Joe dice, 'Lo que olvidaron matarJoe says, "What they forgot tokill
Siguió organizandoWent on to organize
Siguió organizando'Went on to organize"

'Joe Hill no está muerto', me dice"Joe Hill ain't dead," he says to me
'Joe Hill nunca murió'"Joe Hill ain't never died
Donde los trabajadores están en huelgaWhere working men are out on strike
Joe Hill está a su ladoJoe Hill is at their side
Joe Hill está a su lado'Joe Hill is at their side"

'De San Diego hasta Maine"From San Diego up to Maine
En cada mina y fábricaIn every mine and mill
Donde los trabajadores hacen huelga y se organizan'Where workers strike and organize"
Dice él, 'encontrarás a Joe Hill'Says he, "you'll find Joe Hill"
Dice él, 'encontrarás a Joe Hill'Says he, "you'll find Joe Hill"
