Fusil Contra Fusil (2:55) - Silvio Rodríguez

El silencio del monte va

preparando un adiós.

La palabra que se dirá

in memoriam será

la explosión.

Se perdió el hombre de este siglo allí,

su nombre y su apellido son: fusil contra fusil.

Se quebró la cáscara del viento a sur

y sobre la primera cruz despierta la verdad.

Todo el mundo tercero va

a enterrar su dolor.

Con granizo de plomo hará

su agujero de honor,

su canción.

Dejarán el cuerpo de la vida allí,

su nombre y su apellido son: fusil contra fusil.

Cantarán su luto de hombre y animal

y en vez de lágrimas echar, con plomo llorarán.

Alzarán al hombre de la tumba al sol

y el nombre se repartirán: fusil contra fusil.

The silence of the mountain goes

preparing a goodbye

The word to be said

in memory it will be

The explosion.

The man of this century was lost there,

his first name and his last name are: rifle against rifle.

The shell of the south wind broke

and on the first cross awakens the truth.

Everybody third goes

to bury her pain from him.

With hail of lead will do

his hole of honor from him,

her song about him.

They will leave the body of life there,

his name and his surname are: rifle against rifle.

They will sing their mourning of man and animal

and instead of crying tears, with lead they will cry.

They will raise man from the grave to the sun

and the name will be shared: rifle against rifle.
