Santa Clara, Cuba is the adopted city of Cuban revolutionary hero Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara. It was also the site of a decisive battle in the revolutionary struggle against Batista. As such the city is full of monuments to the revolution and to Che including this homage to some of his most famous words. While Latin America is extremely diverse solidarity amongst the nations and people of Latin America remains strong. I visited Cuba in mid 2011. This is my translation.
I feel so patriotic of Latin America
of any country of Latin America
and in the moment it were necessary
I would be willing to give my life
for the liberation of any of the Latin American countries
without asking anything of anybody
without demanding anything
without exploiting anybody
