if we are going to die
let death find us fighting,
let our strength surprise her,
our desire for life,
the stubborn need to follow
must give it work, must break it,
wear her down, move her.
if we are going to die
let it not be in vain,
May our Life be worthy of Death,
And may our Death be worthy of Life.
We don't want to die lying down,
suffering, closing his eyes;
we want to enter death
With wide open eyes,
standing, celebrating
that our fight
dignify our life,
let it be a fire that embraces us,
that consumes us
that death does not
be satisfied, still,
or hidden.
We wait for her firm, determined,
because a man who lives his life
in the fight, he is a man
that he comes to death
with head held high
and leave death
on knees.
