about

El Roble que Brota Indemne talks about the bombings of Guernica with an emphazis on local folklore. There is a tradition in Guernica that goes back to the 14th century: the Basque people take care of a sacred Oak that symbolizes their freedom. Each time an Oak dies it is replaced by one of its sprouts. Each of the first trees had a name: “The Old Tree”, “The Father Tree”. The Oak that stood and resisted the incendiary and explosive bombs that wrecked Guernica in 1937 was the “Son Tree”. The lyrics present that tree as a parent losing its children, as a survivor of fascist attacks and as a witness of the event. In its sap it is holding the memory of the Basque people’s suffering. The "Son Tree" died in 2004 due to a fungus disease and was replaced twice since.

lyrics

El Roble Que Brota Indemne
¡En su savia recuerda!

En Guernica hay un árbol, es sagrado y no arde
La cuna del pueblo vasco, protegida por un roble
Las bombas y las llamas, abrasaron a nuestra gente
Perdonaron las colinas, sigue hirviendo nuestra sangre

Guernica,
Nubes de Aluminio
Amenazan con exterminio
Guernica,
Escombros y cenizas
Estela de mil heridas

Las raíces incombustibles del roble
Reaniman una horrenda memoria:
Calcinados recuerdos insufribles
De un pasado nebuloso sin gloria

El roble de Guernica,
En su savia recuerda
Los vientos de Alemania
Las mentiras de Salamanca.

Guernica,
Tu barro, triste musa
Ladrillo de nuestra lucha

En Guernica hay un árbol, atávico, endurecido
A su gente ve morir, bajo lluvias del infierno
Su musgo y su corteza le protegen del Averno
Sobreviviente del bombardeo, ¡sigue vivo vuestro recuerdo!
