On the third night of the curfew ordered by Chilean President Sebastián Piñera, the soldiers on the streets to avoid protests against the government, the discontent and resistance of the Chileans could be heard from the balconies. Between the alarm clock to the army and the constant cacerolazos, from one of Santiago's buildings we lived touching scene. A woman sang an emotional version of "I remember you Amanda" Víctor Jara's song that has become a symbol of the class struggle. Neighbors applauded.

"I remember you Amanda, the wet street that ran to the factory, where Manuel was working," do we hear a woman singing from one of the balconies of the building amidst a resounding silence . The stanza ends and the ovation invades every corner.

In the midst of the shock that experienced Chile, the song written in 1969 by Víctor Jara had rather the appearance of a simple melody. The famous song, which tells the love story of two workers, has become a symbol of class struggle and appealed to the unity of the Chilean people during the curfew.

"It's a song about the love of two workers, of any factory, anywhere, of what exists in the soul," said Jara himself before interpreting the song in 1973.

Because of the social content of his lyrics, Víctor Jara has become a reference for the protest song. After the coup d'etat that toppled Salvador Allende on 11 September 1973, he was arrested, tortured and killed by the Chilean dictatorship.
