Silencio
Carlos Gardel
Silence
Silence in the night
Everything is calm
The muscle sleeps
Ambition rests
Rocking a cradle
A mother sings
A beloved song
That reaches the soul
Because in that cradle
Is her hope
There were five siblings
She was a saint
There were five kisses
Every morning
They tenderly touched
The strands of silver
Of that little old lady
With very white hair
There were five children
Who went to work
Silence in the night
Everything is calm
The muscle sleeps
Ambition works
A bugle is heard
The homeland is in danger
And with the cry of war
Men kill each other
Covering with blood
The fields of France
Today everything has passed
Plants are reborn
A hymn to life
The plows sing
And the little old lady
With very white hair
Remained very alone
With five medals
That for five heroes
The homeland awarded her
Silence in the night
Everything is calm
The muscle sleeps
Ambition rests
A distant choir
Of mothers singing
Rock in their cradle
New hopes
Silence in the night
Silence in the souls
