Guerrilla fighter,
Red heart, you are going to the base areas
Come and tell me how People's War
Is flourishing in the Andes Mountains.
The red banner is flying on the mountaintops
Showing the way towards a new Peru
The world of the hammer and sickle
With Chairman Gonzalo and his light
The sun is already setting over the old order
The new dawn will bury it
To those whose tiny plots were watered by
their blood
Are harvesting the seeds of the future
Quillincho, warrior brother,
Red heart, you are going to the base areas
Tell the little pucuy
To give the order for the final assault
Develop the base areas
This is the great slogan you are carrying
out
The field will grow green again
With the red star of the new political poser
Because in our country we are storming the
heaven
And the sun s rising on the horizon
The armed struggle is defeating darkness
Long live Maoism! Long live the PCP!
