Sangurin til frælsi (El día feliz que está llegando)
Juha Rämö, you are certainly talented in many languages! My English version differs by only a few words from yours, but thanks for your translation. In terms of which song lyrics should be listed, I think it would be good if both the original Silvio Rodriguez song and the Björn Afzelius version could be listed together and separate. Björn used the Rodriguez music and wrote his own words for it.

La pacifiste
Interessante che questa canzone inedita sia stata musicata da Jacques Muñoz con una melodia e arrangiamento perfettamente in stile.

En kungens man
This powerful tragic song, with lyrics and music by Björn Afzelius, is still a poignant social commentary. Titled "Kungens man" (King's man), it was also performed by Lisa Ekdahl, as well as Monica Tornell and Falconer (En kungens man).

Björn Afzelius wrote the following notes
Jag läste i den gamla Västgötalagen om hur man förr tid betraffades olika, beroende på vilken klass man tillhörde. Lagstiftningen har ändras sedan dess, men inte sättet på vilket dem tillämpas.
I read in the old West Goth law about how you were previously regarded differently, depending on the class you belonged to. The laws have changed since then, but not the way in which they are practiced.

Elegi för Salvador Allende
On the back of the album cover, there is a photo, and Björn Afzelius wrote the following notes:
"Salvador Allende 1909-1973
Vald till president i Chile 1970 efter allmänna demokratiska val. Vid en militärkupp den 11 september 1973 angreps presidentpalatset och Allende uppmanades att avgå. han vägrade och mötte i stället militären beväpnad för att in i det sista försvara demokratin. Kort efter bilden togs stormades presidentpalatset. Salvador Allende var död."
"Salvador Allende 1909-1973
Voted to President in Chile in 1970 after a completely democratic election. In a military coup on the 11th of September, the presidential palace was taken and Allende was forced to leave. He refused and met instead the armed military to save democracy. Shortly after the photo was taken, the presidential palace was stormed. Salvador Allende was dead."
