Joe Hill

Soñé que vi a Joe Hill anocheI dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Vivo como tú o como yo.Alive 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 cama.Him 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 yo.They 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 vida,And standing there as big as life,
Y sonriendo con sus ojos,And smiling with his eyes,
Joe dice, 'Lo que olvidaron matarJoe says, "What they forgot to kill
Siguió organizando,Went 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 huelga,Where working men are out on strike,
Joe Hill está a su lado,Joe 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 fábrica,In 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."
