Maria Pilar

What happened, Maria Pilar
What happened to your Julian
Comrades help you ask
Where did they take him, where is he
Why could you never find him
If you searched tirelessly
Tell them about that afternoon, Maria Pilar
When returning with your children from the store
You could see them taking out your Julian
From the back of the shack, pushing him
Towards a dark car like terror
That afflicted your heart

You were afraid for your Julian, oh Maria Pilar
You knew something was going to happen to him
So pure your man, Maria Pilar
So concerned for others
Keep telling, Maria Pilar
The just men will help you
There are just men, you will see

What would they accuse your Julian of
Perhaps for caring about others
It makes you proud to think, Maria Pilar
If that's why they took your Julian
They understood nothing, sir, you will say
Those who took away his freedom
He never wielded anything but his kindness
And that's exactly what he asked for, if you know
Can it be said that it's not true
That so many needed shelter and bread
How not to shout it, Maria Pilar
Being as he was, your Julian

I don't know what the just men will do
Oh, Maria Pilar
But may they help your Julian
What good is freedom to us
If there is no justice, Maria Pilar
