Translation of the song lyrics Fosa Común - Gatillazo

Fosa Común (original)

No eran mártires ni héroes, sólo fueron a luchar
Con la rabia de los pobres contra el fascismo brutal
Pelearon contra los caciques y la prepotencia militar
Y dieron la vida por simple dignidad
Los matones se reían y el cabrón del cura los bendecía
Mientras los mataban en nombre de su dios
Cara al sol de madrugada, con una camisa azul
Los tiraron como a perros en una fosa común
El silencio de los muertos grita libertad
Los mataron de un tiro en la nuca o fusilados contra la pared
Los eliminaron con saña criminal
Los matones se reían y el cabrón del cura los bendecía
Mientras los mataban en nombre de su dios
Aquellos que apretaron el gatillo no debieran olvidar
Que aquellas balas no mataron todo, nadie mata a la verdad
En una cuneta, entre calaveras agujereadas nació la democracia
La herida sigue abierta !
!

(translation)

They were not martyrs or heroes, they just went to fight
With the rage of the poor against brutal fascism
They fought against the caciques and the military arrogance
And they gave their lives for simple dignity
The thugs laughed and the bastard priest blessed them
As they were killed in the name of their god
Facing the early morning sun, in a blue shirt
They were thrown like dogs in a mass grave
The silence of the dead screams freedom
They were shot in the neck or shot against a wall
They eliminated them with criminal viciousness
The thugs laughed and the bastard priest blessed them
As they were killed in the name of their god
Those who pulled the trigger should not forget
That those bullets did not kill everything, nobody kills the truth
In a ditch, among pierced skulls, democracy was born
The wound is still open!
