Translation of the song lyrics No Nos Moveran (We Shall Not Be Moved) - Joan Baez

No Nos Moveran (We Shall Not Be Moved) (original)

Sube a nacer conmigo, hermano
Dame la mano desde la profunda zona de tu dolor diseminado
No volveras del fondo de las rocas
No volveras del tiempo subterraneo
No volvera tu voz endurecida
No volveran tus ojos taladrados
Yo vengo a hablar por vuestra boca muerta
A traves de la tierra juntad todos los silenciosos labios derramados
Y desde el fondo habladme toda esta larga noche
Como si estuviera con vosotros anclado
Contadme todo, cadena a cadena, eslabon a eslabon, y paso a paso
Afilad los cuchillos que guardasteis
Ponedlos en mi pecho y en mi mano
Como un rio de rayos amarillos
Como un rio de tigres enterrados
Y dejadme llorar horas, dias, anos, edades ciegas, siglos estelares
Dadme el silencio, el agua, la esperanza
Dadme la lucha, el hierro, los volcanes
Apegadme los cuerpos como imanes
Acudid a mis venas y a mi boca
Hablad por mis palabras y mi sangre
No, no, no nos moveran!
no, no nos moveran!
Como un arbol firme junto al rio
No nos moveran
Unidos en la lucha, no nos moveran
Unidos en la lucha, no nos moveran
Como un arbol firme junto al rio
No nos moveran
No, no, no nos moveran!
no, no, no nos moveran!
Como un arbol firme junto al rio
No nos moveran
Unidos en la huelga, no, no, no nos moveran!
Unidos en la huelga, no, no, no nos moveran!
Como un arbol firme junto al rio
No nos moveran, no nos moveran!

(translation)

Climb up to born with me, brother
Give me your hand from the deep zone of your scattered pain
You will not return from the background of rocks
You won't come back from underground time
Your voice will not harden
They will not return your drilled eyes
I come to speak through your dead mouth
Across the land gather all the silent lips spilled
And from the bottom talk to me all this long night
As if she were with you anchored
Tell me everything, chain by chain, link by link, and step by step
Sharpen the knives you kept
Put them on my chest and in my hand
Like a river of yellow lightning
Like a river of buried tigers
And let me cry hours, days, years, blind ages, stellar centuries
Give me the silence, the water, the hope
Give me the war, the iron, the volcanoes
Cling to my body like magnets
Go to my veins and to my mouth
Speak through my words and my blood
No, no, they won't move us!
no, they will not move us!
Like a firm tree by the river
They will not move us
United in the fight, they will not move us
United in the fight, they will not move us
Like a firm tree by the river
They will not move us
No, no, they won't move us!
no, no, they will not move us!
Like a firm tree by the river
They will not move us
United in the strike, no, no, they will not move us!
United in the strike, no, no, they will not move us!
Like a firm tree by the river
They won't move us, they won't move us!
