Lullaby

Cantiga de berce

Sleep my baby, sleep,Durme meu neno, durme,
without more crying,sen máis pranto,
the time to cry,que o tempo de chorare,
is passingvai pasando
That the land you live in,Que a terra na que vives,
without tears,no que bágoas,
needs whole men,precisa homes inteiros,
to set it free.pra liberala.
Sleep my baby, sleep,Durme meu neno, durme,
take strength,colle forzas,
for the life that awaits you,que a vida que che agarda,
demands struggle.pide loita.
It will collect the fruitRecollera-lo froito
sown,sementado,
in the dark and cold winter,no inverno escuro e frio,
we are in.no que estamos.
Seed made in blood by a peopleSemente feita en sangue por un pobo
that emerges from history, from sleep,que xurde dende a hestoria, dende o sono,
a sleep full of anger and misery,un sono cheo de aldraxe e miserento,
a sleep of injustices and silence.un sono de inxusticias e silencio.
Look at the language I speak, despised,Mira a língoa que falo, despreciada,
for being the language of the poor, slave language,por ser língoa de probes, língoa escrava,
I am the pride we have, language of the poor.son o orgullo que temos, língoa de probes.
Only in them there is truth and more honors.Só neles hai verdade e máis honores.
Sleep my baby, sleep, in this lap,Durme meu neno, durme, niste colo,
that this land of slaves has no hatred.que esta terrra de escravos non tén odio.
It has centuries of hope, awaited,Tén séculos de espranza, agardada,
that today puts in the children it nurtures.que pón hoxe nos fillos que amamanta.
