lyrics

(English translation below).

IV. Coeur-de-lion

Con cada astro que se desvanece
De la bóveda del gran concierto
Enterramos el aliento incierto
De la voz que se desaparece.
 
Lee el hombre, en el cielo abierto,

El lóbrego destino que merece:
En letras consteladas, anochece
En su alma el canto del dios muerto.
 
¡Gil-Stel! ¿Quién ha borrado el sendero
Que brillaba en lo alto, exento 
del tiempo?
¿Dónde está la luz del norte?


¡Patria celeste, aliento duradero!
¿Volverán los astros y su lamento,
A recordar la celestial corte?

(Solo: Fernández)

Violento viento hunde
Nuestra tierra en ancho mar
Mas la luz que siempre alumbra
Al navegante furor infunde.
De amada tierra se marchan
Por vinoso y ancho mar
Mas el fuego que no se consume
Ni el ancho mar apagará.

(Solo: Espinosa)

IV. Coeur-de-lion

With each star that vanishes
From the great concert's vault,
We bury the uncertain breath
Of the disappearing voice.

In the open welkin man may read,
The dire fate that he deserves:
In constellated letters in his soul,
The night sets on the dead god's song

Gil-Stel! Who has destroyed the path
That shone above, beyond the wears
of time? Where is the northern light?

O Heavenly country, enduring breath!
Will the astral lament return,
To recall the celestial court?

(Solo: Fernández)

A violent wind is sinking
Our land into the wide sea,
But the beacon light forever
Lends the wanderer her strength.
They leave beloved lands
Through the wide and wine-dark sea,
But the ancient blaze eternal
The ocean cannot quench.

(Solo: Espinosa)
