Lyrics
Tatuada con aspereza de balas y cárcel
Sentida por todas como parte importante
De anhelos cercanos, de libertad y coraje
Has llegado más lejos que el viento
Que fugitivo te llevó con él, te llevó con él…
Matilde Landa, republicana
No pudieron colgar de tu pecho ni crucifijos ni sotanas
Matilde Landa, republicana
No pudieron colgar de tu pecho señales amargas
Qué irónica es la vida
Que por un lado seas consuelo para muchas
Y a la vez la soledad te acompaña en cada lágrima
Cuando inventas conversaciones con tu pequeña niña
Que en casa continúa esperando a que regreses… a que regreses
Matilde Landa, republicana
No pudieron colgar de tu pecho ni crucifijos ni sotanas
Matilde Landa, republicana
No pudieron colgar de tu pecho señales amargas
Matilde Landa, republicana
Nos espera en el aire tu abrazo, eres lluvia enterrada
Matilde Landa, republicana
Y las celdas sintieron el vértigo de tu salto mortal
Lyrics translation
Tattooed with roughness of bullets and jail
Felt by all as an important part
Of near longing, of freedom and courage
You've gone further than the wind
That fugitive took you with him, took you with him…
Matilde Landa, Republican
They could not hang from your chest neither crucifixes nor cassocks
Matilde Landa, Republican
They couldn't hang bitter signs from your chest
How ironic is life
May you be a comfort to many
And at the same time loneliness accompanies you in every tear
When you make up conversations with your little girl
That at home keeps waiting for you to come back... to come back
Matilde Landa, Republican
They could not hang from your chest neither crucifixes nor cassocks
Matilde Landa, Republican
They couldn't hang bitter signs from your chest
Matilde Landa, Republican
Your embrace awaits us in the air, you're buried rain
Matilde Landa, Republican
And the cells felt the vertigo of your somersault
