Fusillade Milonga

Milonga Del Fusilado

Don't ask me who I amNo me pregunten quien soy
Or if you had known meNi si me habian conocido
The dreams I had wantedLos sueños que habia querido
Will grow, even though I'm not hereCrecerán, aunque no estoy
I don't live anymore, but I goYa no vivo, pero voy
In what I was dreamingEn lo que andaba soñando
And others who keep fightingY otros que siguen peleando
Will make other roses bloomHarán nacer otras rosas
In the name of those thingsEn el nombre de esas cosas
Everyone will be naming meTodos me estaràn nombrando

Don't remember my faceNo me recuerden la cara
That was my war faceQue fue mi cara de guerra
As long as there was a need in my landMientras hubiera en mi tierra
For me to hateNecesidad de que odiara
In the clearing skyEn el cielo que ya aclara
They will know how my forehead wasSabrán como era mi frente
Few people heard me laughMe oyo reir poca gente
But my ignored laughterPero mi risa ignorada
They will find it at dawnLa hallarán en la alborada
Of the day that is sensedDel dia que se presiente

Don't ask me my ageNo me pregunten la edad
I have the years of everyoneTengo los años de todos
I chose among many waysYo elegí entre muchos modos
To be older than my ageSer mas viejo que mi edad
And my true yearsY mis años de verdad
Are the shots I have firedSon los tiros que he tirado
I am born in every fusilladeNasco en cada fusilado
And even if my body diesY aunque el cuerpo se me muera
I will have the true ageTendré la edad verdadera
Of the child I have liberatedDel niño que he liberado

Don't go looking for my graveMi tumba no anden buscando
Because you won't find itPor que no la encontrarán
My hands are the onesMis manos son las que van
In other hands, shootingEn otras manos, tirando
My voice, the one that is shoutingMi voz, la que esta gritando
My dream, the one that remains wholeMi sueño, el que sigue entero
And know that I only dieY sepan que solo muero
If you start to slackenSi ustedes van aflojando
Because the one who died fightingPor que el que murió peleando
Lives in every companion!Vive en cada compañero!
