Amor a Prueba de Bombas

Abir lives in Gaza, she's another Palestinian girlAbir vive en Gaza, es otra niña Palestina
Who at 7 drew the corpsesQue a los 7 dibujaba los cadáveres
Of children that Israel assassinatesDe niños a los que Israel asesina
She never had innocenceNunca tuvo inocencia

She saw her grandparents' house destroyedVio la casa de sus abuelos destruída
Under the pretext that they were terroristsCon el pretexto de que eran terroristas
Now she's 10, her father was also killedAhora tiene 10, su padre también fue asesinado
But her mother tells her he's travelingPero su madre le dice que está viajando

Sometimes she can't go to school because of the shotsA veces no puede ir al colegio por los disparos
She talks about revenge against those heartlessYa habla de venganza contra esos desalmados
No one has told her to do it, it's justNadie le ha dicho que lo haga, simplemente
Normal when they trample her people dailyEs normal cuando a diario pisotean a su gente

She lies to her mother saying she's not afraidMiente a su madre diciéndole que no tiene miedo
But the tanks make her nervous all dayPero los tanques la tienen nerviosa el día entero
She has nightmares where she doesn't see dad againTiene pesadillas en las que no vuelve a ver a papá
If she knew they tortured him until he couldn't breatheSi supiera que lo torturaron hasta no poder respirar

But there's something that makes her happyAunque hay algo que la hace levantar contenta
There's a boy she likes at her school and she triesHay un chaval que le gusta en su escuela e intenta
To only think of him when panic invades herPensar sólo en el cuando el pánico la invade
And the cowardly Zionists lurk nearbyY merodean muy cerca los sionistas cobardes

His name is Youssef and like almost every Palestinian childSe llama Youssef y como casi todo niño palestino
He has family killed by this permitted holocaustTiene familia asesinada por este holocausto permitido
The infatuation is mutual, holding handsEl enamoramiento es mutuo, cogidos de la mano
They go home and fear seems like a thing of the pastVuelven a casa y el miedo parece cosa del pasado

They say when they grow up they'll marry in a free PalestineDicen que de mayores de casarán en una Palestina libre
It's the closing line of every love letter they writeEs la firma de cada carta de amor que se escriben
It's the little beauty that Abir has leftEs lo poco bonito que le queda a Abir
She hates this situation but doesn't want to leave her countryOdia esta situación pero no se quiere ir de su país

She wants to fight for what's theirsQuiere luchar por lo que les pertenece
Honor the memory of the fallen even though sometimesHonrar el recuerdo de los caídos aunque a veces
She only imagines herself thousands of kilometers away from GazaSólo se imagina a miles y miles de kilómetros de Gaza
With Youssef, where their children don't suffer threatsCon Youssef, donde sus hijos no sufran amenazas

One day she arrives at school excited but he's not thereUn día llega al colegio ilusionada pero el no está
The teacher cries, three more children are missing in classLa profesora llora, en clase faltan tres niños más
She explains they died in a bombingLes explica que han muerto en un bombardeo
How could she keep it quiet if they were going to find out anywayComo lo va a callar si igualmente se iban a enterar

Anxiety leads Abir to the hospital, she can't acceptLa ansiedad lleva a Abir al hospital, no puede asumir
How cruel and ruthless Israeli barbarism isQue sea tan cruel y despiadada la barbarie israelí
She spends a week almost in a coma, when she wakes upPasa una semana casi en coma, cuando despierta
All she can think about is Youssef's smile and a rifleSólo puede pensar la sonrisa de Youssef y en un fusil

From love to hate, there's a stepDel amor al odio, hay un paso
And they forced her onto the pathY ellos la forzaron al camino
Of ending up being a martyrDe acabar siendo una mártir
Of the Palestinian armed struggleDel brazo armado palestino
