Joan Baez & Jackson Browne - El Salvador

El Salvador(performed by Joan Baez & Jackson Browne from her album Speaking of Dreams,1989)

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

El Salvador (G. Copeland)

I have been a Joan Baez fanatic for many years. On her behalf I can say that she will be proud. She has put the cause of Peace and Justice before her personal well-being for a lifetime. Her honesty and consistancy over the years speak of her integrety. She's not angry but pleased. Good work, Highcoaster75.

[Highcoaster75]

I sure hope that she would like this video,if she ever watched it =)

Very nice video my friend. You caught the peacemessage beautifully in this one.

And I'm convinced that both Joan & Jackson are nodding =) (And Spielberg too of course)

If you read a little about the civil wars in latin america in the 80's you'll know how much the right wingers screwed up. the people that ruled latinamerica were fascists not conservatives. And even if it was ideological, i mean this just proves they are not hypocrites they sing what they believe in

El Salvador!! I love this song

[4FabBEATLES]

Jackson Browneand Paul brady also performed a version of this together (live); except it was opposite. Browne sang while Brady played spanish-style guitar. it was even better than this (though its hard to believe that's possible)

[RedEnsign1986]

Good song. I am a Canadian dating a Salvadorian man here in Canada. He grew up in El Salvador during the civil war. He showed me this song and told me about the war. I am thankful I grew up in Canada and never had to go through what he went through as a child

[MrFlores80]

[markt133]
