Текст и перевод песни Governors - 1937

1937

Merkatu goiz
Arrunt baten
Ekhi pintzak igartzeko hegaldia
Altxa zuten
Burdinezko usoek

Bombak zeruan
Erruten zeuden

Eztanda bat
Olatu bat
Metraila zatiak txistu jotzen
Lore beltzak
Hil ferekak
Ezker eskuin banatzen

Iheserako
Aukera gabe

Harrien arteko
Segundu orenduek
Mutu ziruditen
Min oihu batek apurtzerako

Bi haurren ama zen
Uluz lau haizeei
Harrien artean
Esku txiki haiek non,
Non bilatuko

Odolez
Zuloz jantzitako
Gorputz eta hormen
Mintzo mutuei adi hark zer esango

Hiru hilotz
Mila bihotz
Su artean bihurturik izotz
Halakoan
Errepara
Bi umeen gorpuei

Hogei metrotara
Botata zeuden

Azken hatserako
So euren begiei
Hitza eman zien
Memorian ez zirela inoiz hilko

Harrien arteko
Segundu orenduek
Erakutsi zuten
Instant bat aski dela ezerezteko

Malkoek
Itoriko hitzen
Amorru hautsia
Hormako zuloetan
Testigatzeko
Testigatzeko

Odolez,
Zuloz jantzitako
Gorputz eta hormen
Oihartzun mutua
Testigatzeko

1937

Morning market
An ordinary
Flight of swallows to show off their tails
They were raised
By iron doves

Bombs in the sky
Were roaring

An explosion
A wave
Shrapnel pieces whistling
Black flowers
Death rattles
Scattering left and right

No chance
For escape

Between the stones
The ordered seconds
Seemed mute
Until a scream of pain broke them

She was the mother of two children
Howling to the four winds
Amongst the debris
Where are those little hands,
Where to find them

Bloody
Body and wall
Clothed in holes
Listening intently to what the silent language has to say

Three corpses
A thousand hearts
Transformed from fire to ice
Suddenly
Notice
The bodies of two children

Twenty meters away
They lay thrown

As a last rage
Only to their eyes
He promised them
That in memory they would never die

Between the stones
The ordered seconds
Showed
That an instant is enough to destroy

Tears
Of broken words
Crushed rage
In the holes of the walls
To testify
To testify

Bloody,
Body and wall,
Clothed in holes
Mutual echo
To testify
