The Children of Hatred (Los hijos del odio) – Excerpt by Juancho Marqués y Vera GRV (2024).

A cry of love in a burning field
there is memory in the shadows of back then
how did you not once look them in the eyes
how could you erase their names
how did you rob from those who have nothing
eat from a land you never tilled
how did you silence their voices
call home a house where you never played.

—

Un grito de amor en un campo que arde
Existe memoria en la sombras de entonces
Cómo ni una vez les miraste a los ojos
Cómo pudiste borrarle sus nombres
Cómo robaste al que no tiene nada
Comer dе una tierra que nunca labraste
Cómo apagastе sus voces
Llamar hogar a una casa en la que no jugaste.
