El Salvador Lyrics - Jackson Browne

(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
