Venceremos - We Will Win (Simon Booth)

A comment is passed
Like dust and glass
Full of fear,
Held in this heaven and hell.

Each time it's spoken,
There's a fragment broken,
Now the rain is falling,
A train is passing,
A gun is firing,
Splitting out here in the night
in which we live.
We'll find a way,
To build a day,
Sooner than tomorrow.

And so it goes
As our love flows,
A strength is found,
In a history bold and proud.

Safe in rooms,
In which we find survival
Hope will tread a greater end
So we'll move my friend
Into safer light,
Knowing that
Here we will win
Here we will win
Here we will win

A new world in the making,
It's there for the taking
Santiago to Rio
The moment is waiting

The lost will be found
And named out aloud
Photos carried high
The lives they're denied.

A nation is breathing
In cities and farmlands,
In bedrooms and boardrooms,
Life held in suspension
A breath that is scented
With warmth and friendship,
And we sleep here as lovers,
Companeros in cover,
We'll tread a greater end,
And so we'll move my friend
Into safer light,
Knowing that we will win.

Un mundo que se abre
Esta por hacerse
De Santiago a Rio
Se espera el momento
Se encontraran
Se nombraran
Con retraros en alto
Esas vidas negadas
Como la nueva pasion
De un amor que brilla
Como el orgullo de crear
Una nacion que respira
De ciudades a campos
De hogar en hogar
La vida en suspenso
Un respiro fragante
De calor Y amistad
Durmiendo como amantes
Companeros encubiertos
Lograremos un gran final
No nos moveran
Sabiendo Que vamos a vencer
Y venceremos
Y venceremos
Y venceremos...
