Elegia VI - La Tierra Escrita
Nathalie Peña Comas
Elegy VI - The Written Earth
Faithful to the three husbands
Imprisoned in jail
They returned from Puerto Plata
It was a November night
Up there in the mountain
On a path to the abyss
The Tyrant of Death
Followed the three sisters
Next to a sweet clear stream
With the scent of reeds and moss
Shadows, ghosts, sleepless nights
Without light in that silence
They were sacrificed
Without help, without defense
The three sisters fell
To rise again
On a horse of iron
Death traveled that night
The rider was the Tyrant
Music, drum, flag!
Freedom does not die!
Risen forever
Fell martyrs Homeland, Minerva, María Teresa!
