You seem worried about being "in a box" by trying to make sure it's "good enough"...but honestly, it's a great cover and good interpretation of the song...much better from a lot of those english is a first language. Most covers of the song seem fairly souless with the lyrics and chords just being strung for the sake of making music....but your cover did not seem that way. Thanks for sharing it. Hope your niece enjoyed it.
I'm not familiar with Victor Jara. Was it, perhaps, just the music that he wrote. Malvina Reynolds did write the words in '62 about a suburb outside of San Fransisco.
eduardo, dude, this is fantastic! i like the green outdoorsy setting...kinda looks like you're hanging out at your guerilla garden waiting for harvest!
You don't have to be sorry, it's not intended to be a the best video ever !!! As we say in France: "On ne peut pas plaire a tous le monde ". Greetz. Edouardo
I love your rendition of this song, I have a youtube video of me playing this song myself. I too played this for my 4 year old neice and she loved it. I love the harmony vocals you do, good work my friend.
Very Good Eduard! Excellent sound recording-the guitar sounds great. Five stars for the back-up voices too. This song is the theme song for the TV show "Weeds" (avail. on iTunes). You should send them a tape.
Thanx for the nice comment :-). I actually recorded it for my little niece (10 months) to make her discover music: When I played it front of her on the guitar, she had started boucing about !. I didn't know it was the theme of a TV show. I know this song from my father that used to listen to it when I was a kid. And I always loved it (the mmessage it carries also). Greetz. Ed
Where did you find your tab please ? :)

No, the original was made by malvina, the victor jara's one was only a version, a very good version (you can see it in wikipedia).
