Lyrics
Hablado:
18 de enero de 1912. El capitan Scott, acompa#ado de Evans, Wilson, Bowers
Y Oates, alcanza el Polo Sur. Pero fracasa en la haza#a de ser el primero.
Sobre el punto de latitud cero ondea ya la bandera noruega del explorador
Amundsen. Exhaustos y fracasados emprenden el regreso.
16 de febrero Polo Sur
Cinco ingleses por el desierto Azul
Evans va ultimo de la fila
Y colgada de su mochila
Va la muerte dispuesta a demostrar
Que una vez muerto
No se esta mal en aquel lugar
No hubo lapida
Si hubo platica
Que dios salve a la reina
Gloria eterna a los heroes
De la Antartida
6 de marzo y Oates no puede mas
Son sus pies dos cuchillas de cristal
De arrastrarse en algunos tramos
Tiene heladas tambien las manos
Pero nadie le quiere abandonar
Y mientras duermen
Sale al paso de la eternidad.
No hubo lapida
Si hubo platica
Que dios salve a la reina
Gloria eterna a los heroes
De la Antartida
30 de marzo
Aqui acaba el diario
De Bowers, Wilson y Scott
Que las ayudas que nunca nos llegaron
Vayan a los que quedaron
Nuestros hijos nuestras viudas
Como un ingles
Mueren tres
No hubo lapidas
No hubo platicas
No hubo Dios
Ni hubo reina
Solo nieves eternas
En la Antartida
!Quien se acuerda del Capitan Scott,
Evans, Wilson, Bowers y Oates?
!Quien se acuerda del Capitan Scott?
Evans, Wilson, Bowers y Oates.
Lyrics translation
Spoken:
January 18, 1912. Captain Scott, accompanied by Evans, Wilson, Bowers
And Oates, it reaches the South Pole. But he fails in the fight to be the first.
On the point of zero latitude the Norwegian flag of the Explorer is already flying
Amundsen. Exhausted and unsuccessful embark on the return.
16 February South Pole
Five Englishmen through the blue desert
Evans goes last in line
And hanging from her backpack
Will Death willing to prove
That once dead
Not bad in that place
There was no stoning
If there was talk
May God Save The Queen
Eternal glory to the heroes
Of Antarctica
March 6 and Oates can no more
Are his feet two glass blades
Of crawling on some stretches
He's got frosty hands, too.
But no one wants to leave him
And while they sleep
It leaves the passage of Eternity.
There was no stoning
If there was talk
May God Save The Queen
Eternal glory to the heroes
Of Antarctica
30 March
Here ends the diary
By Bowers, Wilson and Scott
That the help that never came to us
Go to those who are left
Our children our widows
Like an Englishman
Three Die
There were no stoning
There were no talks
There was no God
Nor was there a queen
Only eternal snows
In Antarctica
!Who remembers captain Scott,
Evans, Wilson, Bowers and Oates?
!Who remembers captain Scott?
Evans, Wilson, Bowers and Oates.
