Lady María Tabárez, 31-05 of '82Lady María Tabárez, 31-05 del '82

Daughter of the street, survivor of the cementHija de la calle, sobreviviente del cemento
That was me, that's meEsa fui yo, esa soy yo
A rose of evil, a rose of SunUna rosa del mal, una rosa de Sol
It's me, I wasSoy yo, fui yo
A rose captive of violence, glory, and painUna rosa cautiva de violencia, gloria y dolor

Twenty-six thorns remained stuckVeintiséis espinas quedaron clavadas
In the heart, the soul of stolen rosesEn el corazón, el alma de rosas robadas
In rich gardens to sell them at nightEn jardines de ricos para venderlas de noche
In all the bars, in all the carsEn todos los bares, en todos los coches

Twenty-six thorns that year after yearVeintiséis espinas que año tras año
She removed in solitude of distant perfumeQuitó en soledad de perfume lejano
A past glory held tightly in her handsUna gloria pasada apretada entre las manos
That bleeds in the red sheath of vain dreamsQué sangra en la funda roja de sueños en vano

Daughter of the street, survivor of the cementHija de la calle, sobreviviente del cemento
That was me, that's meEsa fui yo, esa soy yo
A rose of evil, a rose of SunUna rosa del mal, una rosa de Sol
It's me, I wasSoy yo, fui yo
A rose captive of violence, glory, and painUna rosa cautiva de violencia, gloria y dolor

Thirty bullets that painted the whole room redTreinta balas que pintaron de rojo todo el cuarto
Nothing was the same after the impactsYa nada fue igual después de los impactos
The love by her side was gone foreverSe fue para siempre el amor de su lado
At the window of her cell remembering the pastEn la ventana de su celda recordando el pasado

Twenty-six thorns stuck in her chestVeintiséis espinas clavadas en su pecho
For something she has never done in her lifePor algo que jamás en su vida ha hecho
She will walk again with her head held highCaminará de nuevo con la cara en alto
Picking up the withered roses from the asphaltRecogiendo las rosas marchitas del asfalto
Having the opportunity to fulfill her mother's wishesTener la oportunidad pa' cumplirle a su madre
Give her a home and a stable lifeDarle un hogar y una vida estable
May the promises not just remain as they areQue las promesas no sé queden solo en eso
Written in letters with imprisoned desiresEscritas en las cartas con el deseo preso

Daughter of the street, survivor of the cementHija de la calle, sobreviviente del cemento
That was me, that's meEsa fui yo, esa soy yo
A rose of evil, a rose of SunUna rosa del mal, una rosa de Sol
It's me, I wasSoy yo, fui yo
A rose captive of violence, glory, and painUna rosa cautiva de violencia, gloria y dolor
