Fusil contra fusil [English translation]

The silence of the mountain

prepares its goodbye,

the word that will be said

in memoriam will be the explosion.

This century's man got lost there

His name and surname are:

Rifle against rifle!

The shell broke from the wind to the south

and above the first cross

the truth awakens.

All the Third World

will tell his pain

with hailstones of lead they will make

his hole of pain, his song.

They will leave the body of life there

His name and surname are:

Rifle against rifle!

They will sing his mourning of man and animal

and instead of tears to pour

with lead they will cry

they will build to the man

from the tomb to the sun

and the name will be repeated:

Rifle against rifle!

Rifle against rifle!

Rifle against rifle!
