La Matanza de Los Gomeros

Hupalupu diligently
Prepared his warriors
And with slings he armed them
Thus haranguing his people
You must keep in mind
That they are coming to deceive us!
We must retreat
To the edge of the mountain
And even if all of Spain comes
They will not be able to defeat us!

Armed soldiers flee
In pursuit of retreat
Thousands of stones rain
Down on the slow soldiers
Some fall, battered
By the fierce Gomeros
On the shore they opposed
To stop the escalation
Others flee in disarray
Running along the paths

Finally, the Countess offers forgiveness
To the Guanches
And her simplicity was so great
That they accept without condition
Hupalupu says: Betrayal
That is hard to accept
They want to overwhelm us
Let us look for another way out
Whoever wants to surrender
Will pay with his life!

They go down to the church of La Villa
To be forgiven
Then they would be burned
Like a bad seed
They fell into the trap
As the wise had announced
Their defiance has paid
Like innocent lambs
Those poor Gomeros
Vilely sacrificed
Those poor Gomeros
Vilely sacrificed
