El salvador lyrics

Artist  : Jackson browne 
Song : El salvador
 

(performed by Joan Baez & Jackson Browne from
her album Speaking of Dreams)

Now that the city is dreaming, viva the pale
moonlight
Take to your bibles, take to your beds, now that
nothing seems right
National Guards who they pay by the week are
gonna clash in the curfew tonight
With Los companeros born in the war, from Warsaw
to San Salvador

A voice from the past comes a callin`, saying
hold every strong heart dear
These are the days when it seems like there`s
nothing but newspapers, order, fear
Praise to the ones who are burried gone, and to
the brave hearts who just disappeared
Los companeros, born in the war, from Belfast to
San Salvador

Whad`a you got to do to get through
They`re deaf as a graveyard
What does Nicaragua say to you?

Think of the midnight, silver & black, think
if the sun can be fooled
Think of the four sisters shot in the back for
running a land reform school
Think of the ones taken hard in the hills, they
can be beaten but they can never be ruled
Los Companeros, born in the war, viva El Salvador
