Vamos A Matar Companeros
Ennio Morricone Lyrics

The lyrics to Ennio Morricone's "Vamos A Matar Companeros" are a call to arms for revolutionaries who are fighting for their freedom against oppressive forces. The opening lines, "Levantando en aire los sombreros, vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros" ("Lifting our hats in the air, we're going to kill, we're going to kill, comrades"), suggest a sense of camaraderie and unity among the fighters, as they prepare for battle. The following lines, "Pintaremos de rojo sol y cielos, vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros" ("We'll paint the sun and sky red, we're going to kill, we're going to kill, comrades") evoke a powerful image of the fighters' determination and willingness to spill blood in order to achieve their goals.

The lyrics also note the harsh reality of the fighters' situation, with lines such as "Hay que ganar muriendo, pistoleros" ("We must win by dying, gunmen") and "Hay que morir venciendo guerrilleros" ("We must die victorious, guerrillas"). These lines underscore the immense sacrifice required for the fighters to achieve their freedom – that they must be prepared to die in order to achieve their goals. The final lines of the song, "Hermanos somos, reyes y obreros, vamos a matar, vamos a matar, compañeros" ("We are brothers, kings and workers, we are going to kill, we are going to kill, comrades"), reinforce the message of unity and solidarity among the fighters, as they face their oppressors together.
