Maquis

Sitting on the doorstep, with the beret always tilted like CheSentado en el bordillo del portal, con la boina calada siempre como el ché
In the summer, he will turn 96En verano cumplirá 96
His hands destroyed from working, tremblingly hold a dirty paperSus manos destrozadas de currar, sostienen temblorosas un sucio papel
Another eviction from Santander BankUn deshaucio mas del banco santander

Look at him, there he is, so much to be thankful forMiralo, ahí está, hay tanto que agradecer
He fought, he resisted, he gave his allCombatió, resistió, se dejó la piel
His heart shattered, disillusionment shines in his eyesDeshecho el corazón, en sus ojos brilla la desilusión
He feels abandonedSe siente abandonado

Years of violence and anxietyAños de violencia y ansiedad
His mind suffers from a military coupSufre la razón un golpe militar
With his fist raised, they shall not passCon el puño en alto, no, no pasarán

An army rotten with fascistsUn ejercito podrido de fascistas
Against militiamen ready to fightContra milicianos dispuestos a pelear
Defending freedom with their livesDefendiendo con su vida la libertad

Look at him, there he is, so much to be thankful forMírale, ahí está, hay tanto que agradecer
He fought, he resisted, he gave his allCombatió, resistió, se dejó la piel
