Las puertas del infierno [English translation]

There are buried villages

Lonely gardens

Where the king

Never walks anymore

Statues on horseback

Family portraits

Sunken in the earth

There are ways and means

That have been forgotten

Kept in the bottom

Of a drawer

But even so

The gates of hell

Have opened

And down there

The living are easily confused

With the dead

The paths that led1

To the foot of the guillotine

Won't be counted

The children that were born

Outside your mantles

Will never be illegitimate

Ever again.

But even so

The gates of hell

Have opened

And down there

The living are easily confused

With the dead

But even so

The gates of hell

Have opened

And down there

The living are easily confused

With the dead

1. Or the steps that were taken?
