Y Como Quieres un Canto de Amor

I search among darkness
the lost valley
the land without a master
to give life a meaning

But I only find
the bitter exile
the blinding light
that extinguishes
my feelings
my feelings

And how do you want a love song
when hatred hammers my heart
and how do you want a song for peace
if oppression dresses in military attire

And how do you want a song to the sun
when in Africa it has stopped shining
and how do you want a song to the sea
when dreams drown when emigrating

Moonless nights, nights of horror,
tears, fear, another new violation
hunger, misery, unemployment,
humiliation, torture, death by vivisection

And how do you want a song to love
when hatred hammers my heart
and how do you want a song for freedom
when you imprison the insubordination
and how do you want a song to reason
when Itoiz will perish among concrete
and how do you want a song to truth
if your lies condemn humanity

And how do you want a love song...
