Al pie de Santa Cruz

(original)
Declaran la huelga
Hay hambre en las casas
Es mucho el trabajo
Y poco el jornal;
Y en ese entrevero
De lucha sangrienta
Se venga de un hombre
La Ley Patronal
Los viejos no saben
Que lo condenaron
Pues miente, piadosa
Su pobre mujer
Quizás un milagro
Le lleve el indulto
Y vuelva en su casa
La dicha de ayer
Mientras tanto
Al pie de la santa Cruz
Una anciana desolada
Llorando implora a Jesús:
«Por tus llagas que son santas
Por mi pena y mi dolor
Ten piedad de nuestro hijo
¡Protégelo, Señor!»
Y el anciano
Que no sabe ya rezar
Con acento tembloroso
También protesta a la par:
«¿Qué mal te hicimos nosotros
Pa' darnos tanto dolor?»
Y, a su vez, dice la anciana:
«¡Protégelo, Señor…»
Los pies engrillados
Cruzó la planchada
La esposa lo mira
Quisiera gritar…
Y el pibe inocente
Que lleva en los brazos
Le dice llorando:
«¡Yo quiero a papá¡»
Largaron amarras
Y el último cabo
Vibró, al desprenderse
En todo su ser
Se pierde de vista
La nave maldita
Y cae desmayada
La pobre mujer…
Mientras tanto
Al pie de la Santa Cruz
Una anciana desolada
Llorando implora a Jesús:
-«¿Qué mal te hicimos nosotros
Pa' darnos tanto dolor?
Ten piedad de nuestro hijo
¡Protégelo, Señor!»
(translation)
They declare the strike
There is hunger in the houses
It's a lot of work
And little the wage;
And in that interlude
of bloody fight
take revenge on a man
The Employer Law
old people don't know
that he was sentenced
Well lie, merciful
his poor wife
maybe a miracle
take him pardon
And go back to your house
yesterday's bliss
In the meantime
At the foot of the Holy Cross
a lonely old woman
Crying, she implores Jesus:
«By your wounds that are holy
For my sorrow and my pain
have mercy on our son
Protect him, Lord!"
and the old man
That he no longer knows how to pray
with trembling accent
He also protests at the same time:
"What harm did we do to you?
To give us so much pain?»
And, in turn, the old woman says:
"Protect him, Lord..."
the shackled feet
crossed the gangplank
The wife looks at him
I would like to scream...
And the innocent kid
that he carries in his arms
She tells him crying:
«I love daddy»
They cast moorings
and the last cape
He vibrated, breaking away
in your whole being
he loses sight
the cursed ship
And she falls unconscious
The poor woman...
In the meantime
At the foot of the Holy Cross
a lonely old woman
Crying, she implores Jesus:
- «What harm did we do to you?
To give us so much pain?
have mercy on our son
Protect him, Lord!"
