Hasta Siempre, Tensi

Farewell Forever, Tensi

Hasta Siempre, Tensi

The woman who was going to die was named HortensiaLa mujer que iba a morir se llamaba Hortensia
She had dark eyes and never spoke loudlyTenía los ojos oscuros y nunca hablaba en voz alta
Only laughter filled her mouth and a braid ran down her backSolo la risa llenaba su boca y una trenza recorría su espalda
Eight months pregnant and carrying her writings in a blue notebookEmbarazada de ocho meses y llevaba sus escritos en un cuaderno azul
She was judged with twelve women, the same number as those minorsLa juzgaran junto a doce mujeres, el mismo número que aquellas menores
Who were shot on the fifth of August nineteen thirty-nineQue fusilaron un cinco de agosto de mil novecientos treinta y nueve

The thirteen rosesLas trece rosas
And now she just wants to see that last kissY ahora solo quiere ver aquel último beso
That was given on the hill with the one she lovesQue se dio en el cerro con quien ella quiere
And now she just wants to see that last kissY ahora solo quiere ver aquel último beso
That was given on the hill with the one she lovesQue se dio en el cerro con quien ella quiere

The woman who was going to die already knows her sentenceLa mujer que iba a morir ya conoce su condena
And she writes again in her blue notebookY vuelve a escribir en su cuaderno azul
That the worst pain is not being able to share the emptiness of these hoursQue el peor dolor es no poder compartir el vacío de estas horas
Silence will return to the courtyard, the prisoners will return to their workVolverá el silencio al patio, volverán las presas a su labor
The cruel anguish that the night keeps hidden in the wait will returnVolverá la cruel angustia que guarda la noche escondida en la espera

The farewell of her companionsLa despedida de sus compañeras
And now she just wants to see that last kissY ahora solo quiere ver aquel último beso
That was given on the hill with the one she lovesQue se dio en el cerro con quien ella quiere
And now she just wants to see that last kissY ahora solo quiere ver aquel último beso
That was given with the one she lovesQue se dio con quien ella quiere

Goodbye, girl, farewell forever, TensiAdiós chiqueta, hasta siempre, Tensi
Goodbye, girl, farewell forever, TensiAdiós chiqueta, hasta siempre, tensi
And now she just wants to see that last kissY ahora solo quiere ver aquel último beso
That was given on the hill with the one she lovesQue se dio en el cerro con quien ella quiere
And now she just wants to see that last kissY ahora solo quiere ver aquel último beso
That was given with the one she lovesQue se dio con quien ella quiere
