No Pudo La Muerte Vencerme

(Solo: Espinosa)

No pudo la muerte vencerme.
Batallé y viví. El cuerpo
infatigable contra el alma,
al blanco vuelo del día.
En las ruinas de Troya escribí:
«Todo es muerte o amor»,
y desde entonces no tuve
descanso. Dije en Roma:
«No hay dioses, sólo tiempo»,
y desde entonces no tuve
redención. Callé en España,
pues la voz de la ira desafiaba
al olvido con mis tuétanos,
mis humores, mi sangre; y
desde entonces no ha cesado
el incendio.

(Solo: Fernández)

De reposo
le sirva tierra extranjera
al héroe. Cante fresca hierba
como abeja del polvo por sus
párpados. Yo no me rindo:
quiero vivir cada día en
guerra, como si fuera el último.
Mi corazón batalla contra el mar



Death Could Not Defeat Me

Death Could Not Defeat Me

(Lead: Espinosa)

Death could not defeat me.
I battled and won. The body
Tireless against the soul;
Towards the white flight of day.
In the ruins of Troy I wrote:
“All is death or love”
And since then I have had no
Rest. In Rome I said:
“There are no Gods, only time.”
And since then I have had no
Redemption. I kept silence in Spain,
For the voice of wrath challenged me
To forget with my piths,
My mood, my blood; and
Since then the fire has
Not ceased.

(Lead: Fernández)

May foreign lands
Give a hero rest.
Sign fresh grass
Like a dusty bee through his
eyelids. I don’t surrender:
I want to live each day at
War, as if it were the last.
My heart fights the ocean.
