As continents broke apart, we saw our fearing

Reflect our nations’ fears; we acted as changing

Cities at home would act, with one wish, fighting

This threat or falling under it; we were keeping

The knowledge of fiery promises; this country

Struck at our lives, struck deeper than its soldiers.

Those who among us were sure became our soldiers.

The dreams of peace resolved our subtle fearing.

This was the first day of war in a strange country.

Free Catalonia offered that day our changing

Age’s hope and resistance, held in its keeping

The war this age must win in love and fighting.

This first day of fighting showed us all men as soldiers.

It offered one wish for keeping. Hope. Deep fearing.

Our changing spirits awake in the soul’s country.
