CAMPANADES A MORT

Campanades a mortsfan un crit per la guerradels tres fills que han perdutles tres campanes negres.

I el poble es recullquan el lament s'acosta,ja són tres penes mésque em de dur a la memòria.

Campanades a mortsper les tres boques closes,ai d'aquell trobadorque oblidés les tres notes!

Qui ha tallat tot l'alèd'aquests cossos tan joves,sense cap més tresorque la raó dels que ploren?

Assassins de raons, de vides,que mai no tingueu repòs en cap dels vostres diesi que en la mort us persegueixin les nostres memòries.

Campanades a mortsfan un crit per la guerradels tres fills que han perdutles tres campanes negres.

-II-Obriu-me el ventrepel seu repòs,dels meus jardinsporteu les millors flors.

Per aquests homescaveu-me fons,i en el meu coshi graveu el seu nom.

Que cap oratgedesvetlli el sond'aquells que han mortsense tenir el cap cot.

-III-Disset anys nomési tu tant vell;gelós de la llum dels seus ulls,has volgut tancar ses parpelles,però no podràs, que tots guardem aquesta llumi els nostres ulls seran llampecs per als teus vespres.

Disset anys nomési tu tant vell;envejós de tant jove bellesa,has volgut esquinçar els seus membres,però no podràs, que del seu cos tenim recordi cada nit aprendrem a estimar-lo.

Disset anys nomési tu tan vell;impotent per l'amor que ell tenia,li has donat la mort per companya,però no podràs, que per allò que ell va estimar,el nostres cos sempre estarà en primavera.

Qui ha tallat tot l’alèd'aquests cossos tan joves,sense cap més tresorque la raó dels que ploren?

Assassins de raons, de vides,que mai no tingueu repòs en cap dels vostres diesi que en la mort us persegueixin les nostres memòries.

Campanades a mortsfan un crit per la guerradels tres fills que han perdutles tres campanes negres.

-IV-La misèria esdevingué poetai escrigué en els campsen forma de trinxeres,i els homes anaren cap a elles.Cadascú fou un motdel victoriós poema.

Death knells

The death knellscry for warof three sons who have lostthe three black bells.

And the village gathersas the cry begins,they are only three morewhich we have to carry in our memories.

The death knellswith three closed mouths,oh, that troubadour,may he forget the three notes.

Who has cut out all the airfrom such young bodies,with no more treasurewhat is the reason for their crying?

Assassins of reason, of lives,may you never have peace in the rest of your daysand may our memories haunt you in your death.

The death knellscry for warof three sons who have lostthe three black bells.

-II-Open up my bellyso that they could rest,out of my gardensbring the best flowers.

For these mendig my insidesand in my bodythere engrave their names.

What kind of weatherhas disrupted the dreamof those who have diedwithout bowing down to them?

-III-Only seventeen years,yet you're so old;jealous of the light of their eyes,you've been wanting to close them,but you won't be able to because we're all guarding this lightand our eyes will be the lightning for your evenings.

Only seventeen years,yet you're so old;envious of such a beautiful youth,you've been wanting to rip off their limbs,but you won't be able to because we remember their bodiesand we will be learning to love them every night.

Only seventeen years,yet you're so old;unable to love like he had,you've given him to death for company,but you won't be able to: because he had loved,our bodies will always stay alive (in spring).

Who has cut out all the airfrom such young bodies,with no more treasurewhat is the reason for their crying?

Assassins of reason, of lives,may you never have peace in the rest of your daysand may our memories haunt you in your death.

The death knellscry for warof three sons who have lostthe three black bells.

-IV-The misery has become a poetand wrote its work on the fieldsin form of trenchesand the people walked to them.Each of the trenches was a wordof the victorious poem.
