- Agora que sabemos que todos os camiños
Que construímos foron erixidos sobre cadáveres
Agora que entendemos que erguemos a cada tirano
Que nos someteu baixo o fascio e a espada
Agora que aceptamos que fomos nós xs
Que alzamos os muros que comprimiron os nosos tórax
Sepultando os nosos corazóns...
Decidimos encomendar a nosa existencia á súa destrución
Ata que, dentro de nós, cada deserto se converta en oasis
Cada ferida en fervenza e cada bágoa en torrente- Now that we know that every road
we made was founded on corpses;
Now that we understand that we raised every tyrant
that subdued us with fascio and sword;
Now that we accept that we were the ones
who built the walls which compressed our torsos,
entombing our hearts...
We decide to commit our existence to their destruction
till, inside of us, each dessert becomes an oasis,
each wound a waterfall, each tear a torrent.
- Now that we know that every road
