Hijos de Cain [English translation]

The bible tells a story

that a terrible god dictated

the plight of two brothers,

the just one and the traitor

Abel paltry and cowardly,

the slave of his master

Cain who didn't join the game

and what unfolded

I curse you, thunders the voice of his judge,

our father who deprived us of Eden

Cain broke apart with a gesture

his yoke of slavery,

ran away from relentless eyes1,

beared his own cross,

hunted for breaking a law

which he doesn't understand and which doesn't take him into account2

You'll suffer, you'll die, this is his will

but here still are sons of Cain

The tribe of runaways

grew and multiplied

The sign which marginalizes them

hasn't ever disappeared.

I curse you, cry the sons of Abel

at the right hand of their master, the might

You'll suffer, you'll die, this is his will

but here still are sons of Cain.

Maybe we, the humans,

simultanously are Abel and Cain

Maybe I'll3 destroy one day the dark which is within me

The destiny4 isn't decided5 at birth

I've chosen to be what I'll always be

Son of Cain

Sons of Cain

Sons of Cain

Sons of Cain...
