After four hours of limitless Meseta
As things got greener,
We reached the
Somosierra, the Madrid plain spread below.
L’héroisme oublié, l’héroisme,
Finalement inutile.
Rien qu’une plaque
Posée par les ennemis eux-mêmes
Témoin de l’injustice de l’histoire…
De la vie.
They fought, they died, they won
and were forgotten.
Apart from
The little plaque on the chapel there.
