Original text with translation

Maquila

Pedro Guerra

Original text

Una mujer sentada

Agazapada y sola

Contra la fría noche

Que tiene un pie en la aurora

Lleva un pañuelo negro

Silencio en la mirada

Cuando se sube al coche

Se queda adormilada

Trabajará diez horas

Y ganará tres euros

Quinientos transistores

Ensamblarán sus dedos

Un ruido de engranaje

Se escucha en la maquila

Seiscientas manos tejen

Al despuntar el día

Y cada vez, el miedo

La oscuridad las nombra

Algunas nunca vuelven

Y todas mueren solas

Una mujer sentada

Junto a la mesa, sola

Escucha conmovida

El hilo de la historia:

Príncipes y princesas

De la radionovela

Nacidos en el barro;

Hoy brillan como estrellas

Mira la radio y piensa

Que se gastó el ahorro:

Meses, semanas, días…

Guardando poco a poco

Mira la radio y piensa

En cuántas, como ésa

Se escapan de sus dedos

Cada mañana… piensa

Y cada vez el miedo

La oscuridad las nombra

Algunas nunca vuelven

Y todas mueren solas

Song translation

a woman sitting

crouched and alone

Against the cold night

That she has one foot in the dawn

She wears a black scarf

Silence in the look

when she gets in the car

she falls asleep

She will work ten hours

And she will win three euros

five hundred transistors

They will assemble their fingers

A gear noise

She is heard in the maquila

Six hundred hands weave

at dawn

And every time, the fear

The darkness names them

some never come back

And they all die alone

a woman sitting

By the table, alone

listen moved

The thread of the story:

Princes and princesses

From the soap opera

Born in the mud;

Today they shine like stars

Look at the radio and think

That the savings were spent:

Months, weeks, days...

Saving little by little

Look at the radio and think

In how many, like that

They slip through your fingers

Every morning... think

And every time the fear

The darkness names them

some never come back

And they all die alone
