JUANITAJUANITA
  
Juanita, she was as beautiful as a sunrise,Juanita, lei era bella come un'aurora
when they met in Madrid a long time ago.Quando s'incontrarono a Madrid tanto tempo fa.
And he was young, he was one of many hundred,E lei era giovane, lui uno tra le tante centinaia
who traveled down to fight for freedom.Che erano andati laggiù a battersi per la libertà.
And Juanita, she was with them at the front,E Juanita era con loro al fronte
and her light gave them additional strength and courage.E il suo splendore dava agli altri forza e coraggio
And in the evening, she played and sung on the guitar,E la sera cantava canzoni alla chitarra,
about the people and their future that she was preparedSul popolo e sul futuro che lei era pronta
to defend with her blood.A difendere col suo sangue.
  
Juanita, he will always remember you.Juanita, lui ti ricorderà per sempre,
Yes, because you will always remain inside him.Sí, perché rimarrai sempre dentro di lui.
Juanita, although he never could have youJuanita, anche se non ha mai potuto averti,
he can remember how strong and fine you were.Lui si ricorda di quanto forte e bella eri.
  
But they lost because the Fascists were strong,Ma loro persero, perché i fascisti erano forti,
and he went home, with only bitterness left.E lui tornò a casa con soltanto amarezza.
And Juanita must hide herself in the mountain,E Juanita dovette nascondersi sulle montagne,
and although he wrote, he never received an answer.E anche se le scriveva, non ebbe mai risposta.
But the years went by, and heroes also become old,Ma passarono gli anni, e anche gli eroi invecchiano,
and they hope that the younger ones will continue.E sperano che i più giovani continuino.
He got married, and had sons and daughtersLui si sposò, ebbe figli e figlie
and his time with JuanitaE il suo tempo con Juanita
became like a dream picture from another life.Divenne come l'immagine di un sogno di un'altra vita.
  
Juanita, he will always remember you.Juanita, lui ti ricorderà per sempre,
because you will always remain inside him.Sí, perché rimarrai sempre dentro di lui.
Juanita, although he never could have you.Juanita, anche se non ha mai potuto averti,
he can remember how strong and fine you were.Lui si ricorda di quanto forte e bella eri.
  
Both his sons were in Spain last summerI suoi due figli sono stati in Spagna la scorsa estate
and vacationed at a newly built fine hotel.In vacanza in un hôtel di lusso di nuova costruzione.
They had met an old lady down at the beachHanno incontrato una vecchia vicino alla spiaggia
when they went out to party late one night.Uscendo per una festa, una sera tardi.
They had spoken and told what their names were,Hanno parlato, dicendo come si chiamavano
and that their father was once in Madrid.E che il loro padre una volta era stato a Madrid.
Then she stood up and said "I loved him!Allora lei si è alzata e ha detto: “Io lo ho amato!
But you ran around and encouraged somethingMa voi, venendo qua, nutrite qualcosa
He has fought with the risk for his own life!Contro cui lui ha lottato a rischio della vita!
So go away! I am tired of your oscillating,E allora andatevene! Sono stanca dei vostri giri,
because you only delay freedom's time,Perché voi non fate che ritardare l'ora della libertà
and you ought to know that the tourist's moneyE dovete sapere che i soldi dei turisti
is like honey in the mouth of the oppressors."Non sono altro che miele in bocca agli oppressori!”
  
But, Juanita, he will always remember you.Juanita, lui ti ricorderà per sempre,
because you will always remain inside him.Sí, perché rimarrai sempre dentro di lui.
Oh, Juanita, although he never could have youJuanita, anche se non ha mai potuto averti,
he can remember how strong and fine you were.Lui si ricorda di quanto forte e bella eri.
