Franco la Muerte [English translation]

It's not the time for flamenco

Dishonored Mister Franco1

We are living the time of the knives

We are at the hour of Grimau2

Nevermind for you the procedures

Making shadows on the wall

When the executionner beats time

Franco la Muerte

You got married with the Camarde3

To better fuck the comrades

The anarchists getting ratted out

While Europe gossips

Ho...

Nevermind if Spain is dead

Hear death at your door

It is Grimau delivering

Franco la Muerte

You lay with a Penelope

Who's weaving a shroud at the bottom of Europe

On that Spain that you stop

While awaiting to get caught

Ho!

What matter to you is that it lasts

You, you're not doing litterature

You're no Lorca4, you're his cross-out !

Franco la Muerte

Comes the time of poetry

Who will pull you out of bed

When our knives will make their nest

In the heart of your last night

Hey ho ha!

This night of the Désirade

Towards the clear dusk of grenades

And the Spain of the comrades

España la vida... (Spain is alive)
