1939

You told me about how they killedEm vas contar com els mataren
In the prisons of forgetfulness and horrorA les presons d'oblit I horror
With hope executedAmb l'esperança afusellada
Written in tears of fireEscrita en llàgrimes de foc

You left in long columnsVas marxar en llargues columnes
On the paths of cold and painPels camins de fred I dolor
Legs and hearts full of woundsCames I cors plens de ferides
That year nineteen thirty-nineAquell mil nou-cents trenta-nou

Memory is rebornRenaix la memoria
Consciousness is rebornRenaix la consiencia
Hope is rebornRenaix l'esperança
Victory is rebornRenaix a victòria

You spoke to me of the long exileEm vas parlar del llarg exili
In the prisons of your memoryA les presons del teu record
With longing defeatedAmb l'enyorança derrotada
Written in tears of fireEscrita en llàgrimes de foc

You returned with a weathered faceVas tornar amb cara envellida
Without renunciations or regretsSense renúncies ni remors
With the wound in your gazeAmb la ferida en la mirada
From that year nineteen thirty-nineD'aquell mil nou-cents trenta-nou

Memory is rebornRenaix la memoria
Consciousness is rebornRenaix la consiencia
Hope is rebornRenaix l'esperança
Victory is rebornRenaix a victòria
