Henry, very moving. Thanks for exposing Sting as a hypocrite who only espouses left wing causes to sell his songs. A song about the Damas de Blanco would not generate revenue from the lefties nor would it get airtime on counterculture radio stations.

EXILIADO FIEL
Víctor Hugo

Acepto el duro exilio
aun siendo hasta la muerte,
sin ponerme a pensar, ni tratar de inquirir,
si alguien claudicó ante quien creyó mas fuerte,
o si otros desertaron debiendo resistir.

Si solo mil recogen
tu negro desafío,
entre esos bravos nombres
también estará el mío...

Si esos se reducen
y solo quedan cien,
para seguir luchando,
allí estaré también.

Y si solo diez se yerguen
para enfrentarse al mal,
proseguiré con ellos
luchando hasta el final...

Y si quiere el destino
que todo lo forjó,
que solo quede uno
erguido y soberano:
apréndelo tirano,
que ese uno, !seré yo!

Poignant.

An English-text version would be great...

What's with the wolf at 1:56?

I hadn't seen that at first. But I just realized what it's about. She's not a lady in white. That was during an "acto de repudio" that they perpetrated against the ladies in white. She was one of the women in the mob they brought to hurl insults at them. You can tell by the expression on her face that she's not with the ladies in white, who are walking in a dignified manner.
