A los cinco héroes antiterroristas cubanos

Señalo el tiempo transcurrido
no quiero vivir avergonzado
vale la lucha el sumario
vale la lucha el recorrido
vale la lucha el resultado.
Aquí estamos de pie exigiendo
lo más simple de la vida:
la verdad pura la conciencia
a vosotros me dirijo
con un alto en el camino
iluminando mis pensamientos
en los días confiados
aquellos de esperanza viva
llenos de palabras inmortales y desnudas.

Confío en el barro de vuestra masa corporal
porque ustedes nacieron íntegros
hoy nadie puede destruirlos
ni en las noches cerradas de la angustia
ni en el amanecer de las cinco de la madrugada
abandonado el murmullo de la casa
la respiración la queja la cocina el desayuno
el movimiento de los seres queridos.
No queremos una limosna
nunca un privilegio
ni dos ni tres ni cuatro, tampoco cinco
sería aceptar crímenes jamás cometidos.

En el vaivén de las antorchas encendidas
los puños alzados pregonan el canto
todos los días lo vocean
cinco, cinco que los quiero libres
Justicia señores, justicia y no clemencia
¡Señores magistrados no hay derecho!
ustedes han quebrado la armonía en los hogares
son ellos cinco hombres de provecho, frutos de la paz
forjados en los crisoles encarnados del acero
en la irradiación de las fraguas honradas
vale la lucha el resultado voceando
cinco, cinco que los quiero libres.

Ellos volverán
los cinco héroes cubanos volverán
René Ramón Antonio Fernando Gerardo
volverán a volcar su ímpetu sanguíneo en el hogar
volverán a sus preciosas familias bajo el techo a cuidar
SÍ, VOLVERÁN!

*****

They will return!

By Carlos Angulo-Rivas

I signal the time passed
I do not want to live ashamed
The struggle is worth the build-up
The struggle is worth the journey
The struggle is worth the result
Here we are standing up demanding
The simplest thing in life:
The pure honest truth, your conscience
I address you with a stop along the way
Illuminating my thoughts
In the confident days
Those of vital hope
Full of immortal and raw words

I trust in the mud of your corporal mass
Because you were born upright
Today, nobody can destroy you
Neither in the closed nights of anguish
Nor in the dawn of 5 o’clock in the morning
Abandoning the murmurs at home
The breathing, the complaints, the kitchen, the breakfast
The movements of loved ones
We do not want charity
Never a privilege
Not two, three, four, or five
That would be accepting crimes never committed

In the swaying of the lit torches
The raised fists proclaim in chant
Every day they shout
Five, we want freedom for the Five
Justice Sirs, justice and no clemency
Magistrates, it is not fair!
You have shattered the harmony of the homes
They are five worthy men, fruits of peace
Wrought in the crucibles, red of iron
In the radiation of forges
The struggle is worth the shouting result
Five, I want freedom for the Five!

They will return!
The Cuban Five heroes will return
René Ramón Antonio Fernando Gerardo
They will return to overturn the bloody energy back home
They will return to a roof over their heads to care for their precious families
YES, THEY WILL RETURN!
