Relato IV(original) |
El sitio al que los llevaban |
Era una escuela vacía |
Y la escuela se llamaba |
Santa María |
Dejaron a los obreros |
Los dejaron con sonrisas |
Que esperaran les dijeron |
Sólo unos días |
Los hombres se confiaron |
No les faltaba paciencia |
Ya que habían esperado |
La vida entera |
Siete días esperaron |
Pero qué infierno se vuelven |
Cuando el pan se está jugando |
Con la muerte |
Obrero siempre es peligro |
Precaverse es necesario |
Así el Estado de Sitio |
Fue declarado |
El aire trajo un anuncio |
Se oía tambor ausente |
Era el día veintiuno |
De diciembre |
(translation) |
The place they were taken to |
It was an empty school |
And the school was called |
Santa Maria |
They left the workers |
left them with smiles |
What to expect they told them |
Just a few days |
The men trusted |
They did not lack patience |
since they had waited |
The whole life |
seven days waited |
But what the hell do they become |
When the bread is being played |
with death |
Worker is always danger |
Caution is necessary |
So the State of Siege |
It was declared |
The air brought an announcement |
Absent drum was heard |
It was the twenty-first |
From December |
