El Sur También Existe

“Pero aquí abajo abajo
cerca de las raíces
es donde la memoria
ningún recuerdo omite
y hay quienes se desmueren
y hay quienes se desviven
y así entre todos logran
lo que era un imposible
que todo el mundo sepa
que el Sur también existe.”
– Mario Benedetti

The South Also Exist

“But down here, down
Near the roots
Is where memory
Omits no memory
And there are those
Who defy death for
And die for
And thus together achieve
What is impossible
That the whole world would know
That the South,
That the South also exists.”
– Mario Benedetti
