    Default Tierra Santa - Hamlet

    Hello everyone, I'm translating some songs by Tierra Santa into English and I'd like to ask for input on my translation as well as some help on the lyrics I don't understand. I will put a * near the lines I am having trouble with.

    Thanks!

    Hamlet

    Mira la noche, como cae la niebla
    Look out at the night, as the fog descends

    y un miedo oculto se apodera de ti
    and a hidden fear takes hold of you

    en la muralla vaga un alma en pena
    por la traición que le llevó a morir
    a lost soul wanders these walls,
    tortured by the betrayal that led him to die


    Es el espectro de su padre
    It's the spirit of his father

    al que su hermano asesinó
    killed by his own brother

    pidiendo al hijo la venganza
    calling on his son for vengeance

    que hará lavar su honor
    to uphold their honor

    Se finge loco y en su mente oculta
    He feigns insanity, and conceals in his mind

    un odio eterno hacia su madre y su rey
    eternal hatred toward his mother and his king

    bajo la pena esconde la vergüenza*
    que el luto de su padre clama en él*
    beneath the pain hides
    the shameful cry of mourning for his father


    Ahora su rey quiere matarle
    Now his king wants to kill him

    ha descubierto la traición
    he has discovered the betrayal

    pero él burlando a su verdugo*
    ha liberado su prisión*
    but, mocking his executioner,
    he freed his prison


    Él
    ha de esperar
    hasta el final
    para vengarse por ti
    He
    must wait
    until the end
    to exact revenge on you


    Llegó el final, se acerca la venganza
    The end is here, vengeance draws near

    su brazo en duelo por su padre hablará
    la ira justa de un castigo errante
    his dueling arm speaks for his father
    the righteous anger of a wandering punishment


    que abrió la herida que hoy se ha de cerrar
    that opened the wound that must be closed today

    Tan sólo es dulce la venganza
    Vengeance is only so sweet

    si no llega su final
    if it doesn't end

    porque acabar esta locura
    because ending this madness

    es la ira alimentar
    only further feeds the anger
