Acorazado Belgrano

I will depart when dawn breaks
On the high seas and it seems like a dream
My agony and my soul a bird
That takes flight to the south

Old sea wolf, you were wounded
With a sword of certain betrayal
There was my friend, my brother
Who will never return to my land

You went south with many sons of this town
To fight in the cold sea
Men only eighteen years old
To fight for the Falklands

The courage of the survivors
Of the Belgrano is stronger and more persistent
Than the urban and petty forgetfulness
Of those who watch on TV

Old sea wolf, you were wounded
With a sword of certain betrayal
And there was my friend, my brother
Who will never return to my land

South wind where the world ends
You sadly whistled a song
Gray mist that you left us
Is the fortitude and the courage
Is the courage…!

Spoken
A mother who prays and cries:
Lord south, lord cold, lord,
Watch over my warrior child
Who has left his life in the sea…
Without fearing the enemy
Whose joy is to steal and kill
Without thinking of anything else
But to defend his home…
To his homeland that he loved so much,
And in sacrifice surrender to the sun

And defend the Falklands…

Watch over the soldier child
Who will never return
