El foc i la paraula
Obrint Pas
The Fire and the Word
In the heart of the mountains
where history no longer grows,
armed with fire and words
the guerrilla resists!!
In the night of gazes,
where the fog hides the sky,
armed with fire and words
hope resists!!
They stole the smiles,
erased history,
sewed our lips
denying us memory.
They cut down all the trees,
burned the mountains,
dried up the lands
forbidding us the waves.
But they could never conquer freedom
hidden beneath the stars.
They could never conquer dignity
the dignity of being rebels.
They set houses on fire,
shot at parents,
raped mothers
kidnapping our faces.
Confiscated the stones,
forged the chains,
unfurled flags
hurting us with borders.
But they could never conquer freedom
hidden beneath the stars.
They could never conquer dignity
the dignity of being rebels.
The fire and the word: weapons of freedom
hidden beneath the stars.
They will never conquer our dignity,
the dignity of being rebels.
