Acorazado Belgrano

Battleship Belgrano

Acorazado Belgrano

I will depart when dawn breaksPartire cuando despunte el alba
On the high seas and it seems like a dreamEn alta mar y que parezca un sueño
My agony and my soul a birdMi agonia y mi alma un ave
That takes flight to the southQue remonto el vuelo austral "

Old sea wolf, you were woundedViejo lobo de mar te hirieron
With a sword of certain betrayalCon espada de traicion certera
There was my friend, my brotherAlli estaba mi amigo hermano
Who will never return to my landQue ya nunca volvera a mi tierra

You went south with many sons of this townTe fuiste al sur con tantos hijos de este pueblo
To fight in the cold seaA combatir con frio mar
Men only eighteen years oldHombres de solo dieciocho años
To fight for the FalklandsPor las malvinas a luchar

The courage of the survivorsEl valor de los sobrevivientes
Of the Belgrano is stronger and more persistentDel belgrano es mas fuerte y persistente
Than the urban and petty forgetfulnessQue el olvido urbano y mezquino
Of those who watch on TVDe los que miran por tv.

Old sea wolf, you were woundedViejo lobo de mar te hirieron
With a sword of certain betrayalCon espada de traicion certera
And there was my friend, my brotherY alli estaba mi amigo hermano
Who will never return to my landQue ya nunca volvera a mi tierra

South wind where the world endsViento del sur donde termina el mundo
You sadly whistled a songSilbaste triste una cancion
Gray mist that you left usNeblina gris que nos dejaste vos
Is the fortitude and the courageEs la entereza y el valor
Is the courage…!Es el valor…..!

SpokenRecitado
A mother who prays and cries:Una madre que reza y llora:
Lord south, lord cold, lord,Señor sur, señor frio, señor ,
Watch over my warrior childCuida a mi niño guerrero
Who has left his life in the sea…Que ha dejado su vida en el mar …
Without fearing the enemySin temer al enemigo
Whose joy is to steal and killCuyo alegria es robar y matar
Without thinking of anything elseSin pensar en nada mas
But to defend his home…Que defender su hogar…
To his homeland that he loved so much,A su patria que tanto el amo,
And in sacrifice surrender to the sunY en sacrificio entregarse al sol

And defend the Falklands…Y defender malvinas …

Watch over the soldier childCuida al soldado niño
Who will never returnQue ya nunca volvera
