Diarios de Motocicleta

Ernesto Che Guevara is one of my dream lovers.

Ernesto Che Guevara (1928-1967) is Cuba's most revered revolutionary hero. His heroic image appears on everything in Cuba, from walls to Key chains. He is the chief architect of Cuba revolution, a socialist originally from Argentina. He becomes an icon for the entire generation, an inspiration for idealists for both Cuba and the world.

In 1952, young Ernesto Che Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado took an inspiring and thrilling adventure across South America. They travel from Buenos Aires, down the coast of Argentina, through the Andes into Chile, and then north into Peru, Columbia and Venezuela. Che's diary was published and made into a beautiful movie: Diarios de Motocicleta.

Here is a clip of one of the movie's song: Al Otro Lado del Rio:

Clavo mi remo en el agua
llevo tu remo en el mío.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del río.

El día le irá pudiendo
poco a poco al frío.
Creo que he visto una luz
al otro lado del río.

Sobre todo,
creo que no todo está perdido.
Tanta lágrima, tanta lágrima,
y yo soy un vaso vasio...
