Translation of the song lyrics 1939 - Obrint Pas

1939 (original)

Em vas contar que els mataren
A les persones d’oblit i horror
Amb l’esperança afusellada
Escrita en llagrimes de foc
Vas marxar en llargues columnes
Pels camins de fred i dolor
Cames i cors plens de ferides
Aquell mil nou-cents trenta-nou
Renaix la memoria
Renaix la consiencia
Renaix l’esperança
Renaix a victoria
Em vas parlar del llarg exili
A les presons del teu record
Amb l’enyorança derrotada
Escrita en llagrimes de foc
Vas tornar amb cara envellida
Sense renuncies ni remors
Amb la ferida en la mirada
D’aquell mil nou-cents trenta-nou
Renaix la memoria
Renaix la consiencia
Renaix l’esperança
Renaix a victoria

1939 (translation)

You told me they were killed
To the people of oblivion and horror
With hope shot
Written in tears of fire
You marched in long columns
On the roads of cold and pain
Legs and hearts full of wounds
That one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine
Memory is reborn
Consciousness is reborn
Hope is reborn
Victory is reborn
You told me about the long exile
In the prisons of your memory
With longing defeated
Written in tears of fire
You came back with an aged face
No resignations or rumors
With the wound in his gaze
Of that one thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine
Memory is reborn
Consciousness is reborn
Hope is reborn
Victory is reborn
