Victor Jara

Te Recuerdo Amanda Te recuerdo Amanda la calle mojada corriendo a la fábrica donde trabajaba Manuel. La sonrisa ancha la lluvia en el pelo no importaba nada ibas a encontrarte con él con él, con él, con él son cinco minutos la vida es eterna en cinco minutos suena la sirena de vuelta al trabajo y tú caminando lo iluminas todo los cinco minutos te hacen florecer. Te recuerdo Amanda la calle mojada corriendo a la fábrica donde trabajaba Manuel. La sonrisa ancha la lluvia en el pelo no importaba nada ibas a encontrarte con él con él, con él, con él que partió a la sierra que nunca hizo daño que partió a la sierra y en cinco minutos quedó destrozado suena la sirena de vuelta al trabajo muchos no volvieron tampoco Manuel. Te recuerdo Amanda la calle mojada corriendo a la fábrica donde trabajaba Manuel.

I Remember You Amanda I remember you Amanda the wet street running to the factory where Manuel worked. Your wide smile, the rain in your hair nothing else mattered, you were going to meet him.   Only five minutes life is eternal in five minutes the siren sounds to go back to work and as you walk you light up everything those five minutes have made you flower. I remember you Amanda the wet street running to the factory where Manuel worked. Your wide smile the rain in your hair nothing else mattered you were going to meet him   he took to the mountains to fight he who had never hurt anyone he took to the mountains to fight and in five minutes it was all destroyed the siren sounds time to go back to work many will not return neither Manuel. I remember you Amanda the wet street running to the factory where Manuel worked.

Description from http://www.msu.edu/~chapmanb/jara/esongs.html:
When Victor Jara first heard that his daughter, Amanda, had diabetes, he wrote this song of love for his mother Amanda and his daughter Amanda. This is one of Victor Jara's most beloved songs, and expresses his thoughts about family and love. In this song, Victor Jara paints a false picture of love between his mother, Amanda and his father, Manuel (since in other songs such as "The Moon is Always Pretty" Victor Jara describes their life much less glamorously). However, the song does express Victor Jara's ideas of love in the beautiful act of Amanda walking through the rain to see her husband simply because she loves him. Finally, the song has a strong connection between his mother Amanda and his daughter Amanda, showing Victor Jara's ideas on eternal life.
