Lyrics
Español
La ciudad bosteza, de pena y placer envuelta en las sombras del anochecer... Campanas de bronce, las voces de Dios, anunciando "la Novena", se oyen cual deber sagrado con su toque acompasado, de oración. Viejitas y muchachas, desfilan hacia el templo, consuelo de las almas, que descansan en paz. Hilvanan un rosario de penas y recuerdos, de hermanos, padres, novios que ya no volverán. Los fieles de rodillas elevan hacia el cielo plegarias a la Virgen y súplicas a Dios, y mientras en voz baja dicen avemarías el padre "sermonea" desde el Altar Mayor. En un rincón del templo, hincada y sollozando, una viejita humilde que llora de emoción... Son lágrimas de su alma las cuentas del rosario y es infinita angustia la de su corazón... Respetan esa pena los que saben la historia, y en su dolor sagrado repite en la oración: ¡Señor...! ¡yo tuve un hijo...! pero vino la guerra... Me lo pidió la patria... y nunca más volvió! Lo esperó con ansias en su soledad y con su retrato se ponía a llorar. Lo esperó con ansias pero no volvió. Los que han vuelto le contaron que en la guerra lo mataron abrazado a su bandera, con valor.

The city yawns, of sorrow and pleasure wrapped in the shadows of nightfall... Bronze bells, the voices of God, announcing "the Novena", are heard as sacred duty with their rhythmic ringing, of prayer. Old ladies and girls parade towards the temple, consolation of the souls that rest in peace. They weave a rosary of sorrows and memories, of siblings, parents, sweethearts who will never return. The faithful on their knees raise towards heaven prayers to the Virgin and supplications to God, and while in a low voice they say Hail Marys. the father "sermonizes" from the High Altar. In a corner of the temple, kneeling and sobbing, a humble old woman cries with emotion... The beads of the rosary are the tears of her soul and the anguish of her heart is infinite... Those who know the story respect that sorrow..., and in his sacred pain he repeats in prayer: Lord...! I had a son...! but the war came...! The fatherland asked me for him... and he never came back! She waited anxiously for him in his solitude and with his portrait she wept. She waited anxiously for him but he did not return. Those who have returned told her that in the war they killed him hugging his flag, with courage.
