¿Qué dirá el Santo Padre? [English translation]

Look how they talk to us

about freedom

while they deprive us of it

in reality,

Look how they proclaim

calm

while authority torments us.

What will the Holy Father say

who lives in Rome,

because they're cutting his doves' throats?

Look how they talk to us

about paradise

while bullets rain down to us

like hailstones.

Look at the enthusiasm

at the ruling

knowing that they were killing

innocence.

What will the Holy Father say

who lives in Rome,

because they're cutting his doves' throats?

The one who officiates death

like an executioner

eats his breakfast in peace.

The wheat will look beautiful

across the sown field

watered by your blood,

Julián Grimau.

What will the Holy Father say

who lives in Rome,

because they're cutting his doves' throats?

Under more injustice,

Sir prosecutor,

my soul has more power

to sing.

With this they put the rope around their neck:

the fifth commandment doesn't have a stamp.

What will the Holy Father say

who lives in Rome,

because they're cutting his doves' throats?
