Broken Silence - Rude Pride

This is a story of things done right

Brave men and women who fought for freedom in our land

Franco in power things were not getting any better

So the only choice was partisan warfare

Many had to run to the countryside

Others were coming back from fighting nazis in France

Joining those who escaped fascist jails

Ready to show this was not wars end

We won’t forget how you tried

To destroy them risking your own lifes

Never stopped to defy

Who made you cry

Up in the mountains you hide

Waiting for the next time to strike

With the strength of the just

Till your last breath you did fight

Carrying a new world in your hearts

Yes, we owe you so much

Broken silence!

Although radio and press treated them as bandits

Civil guard, police, army and traitors were their only targets

When bastards knew they were somewhere near

Punished the peasants with torture and fear

Hated by the enemy, ignored by the allies

Now they were alone, still fighting with no flags or banners

Times of pain, they fought with violence

Seventy years, we still break the silence

Up in the mountains…

(times of fear, times of violence

Times when you did not keep quiet

Nameless heros, we remember your fight)
