Banquete De Tiranos (original)Banquete De Tiranos (translation)
Hay una raza vil de hombres tenaces There is a vile race of tenacious men
De sí propios inflados, y hechos todos Of themselves inflated, and made all
Todos, del pelo al pie, de garra y diente Everyone, from hair to foot, tooth and claw
Y hay otros, como flor, que al viento exhalan And there are others, like a flower, that exhale to the wind
En el amor del hombre su perfume In the love of man his perfume
Como en el bosque hay tórtolas y fieras As in the forest there are turtledoves and beasts
Y plantas insectívoras y pura And insectivorous plants and pure
Sensitiva y clavel en los jardines Sensitive and carnation in the gardens
De alma de hombres los unos se alimentan Some feed on the soul of men
Los otros su alma dan a que se nutran The others give their soul to be nourished
Y perfumen su diente los glotones And let the gluttons perfume their teeth
Tal como el hierro frío en las entrañas Just like cold iron in the guts
De la virgen que mata se calienta From the virgin who kills is heated
A un banquete se sientan los tiranos Tyrants sit at a banquet
Pero cuando la mano ensangrentada But when the bloody hand
Hunden en el manjar, del mártir muerto Sink in the delicacy, of the dead martyr
Surge una luz que les aterra, flores A light arises that terrifies them, flowers
Grandes como una cruz súbito surgen Big as a sudden cross arise
Y huyen, rojo el hocico y pavoridos And they flee, red muzzle and terrified
A sus negras entrañas los tiranos To its black entrails the tyrants
Los que se aman a sí, los que la augusta Those who love themselves, those who august her
Razón a su avaricia y gula ponen Reason to their greed and gluttony they put
Los que no ostentan en la frente honrada Those who do not display on the honorable forehead
Ese cinto de luz que en el yugo funde That belt of light that melts in the yoke
Como el inmenso sol en ascuas quiebra As the immense sun on embers breaks
Los astros que a su seno se abalanzan The stars that pounce to her bosom
Los que no llevan del decoro humano Those who do not carry human decorum
Ornado el sano pecho, los menores Adorned the healthy chest, the minors
Y los segundones de la vida, sólo And the seconds of life, only
A su goce ruin y medro atentos At your mean pleasure and I grow attentive
Y no al concierto universal And not to the universal concert
Danzas, comidas, músicas, harenes Dances, food, music, harems
Jamás la aprobación de un hombre honrado Never the approval of an honest man
Y si acaso sin sangre hacerse puede And if perhaps without blood it can be done
Hágase… clávalos, clávalos Let it be... nail 'em, nail 'em
En el horcón más alto del camino On the highest pitchfork on the road
Por la mitad de la villana frente For the half of the villain front
A la grandiosa humanidad traidores To the great humanity traitors
Como implacable obrero Like a relentless worker
Que a un féretro de bronce clavetea That nails a bronze coffin
Los que contigo those who with you
Se parten la nación a dentelladasThey bite the nation
