Vencer O Morir
Red Wine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La brisa del alba anuncia el final
De tantos años de oscuridad
Mi espada impaciente busca el clamor
De la batalla aquí en Pelennor

Nuestro rey ha muerto pero junto a él
Yace el gran siervo del mal
El dolor nace en nuestro corazón
Mas resistiremos sin temor

Hoy el son de la batalla llegará hasta mi
Seguiremos hasta vencer o morir
Hoy avanzaremos entre toda oscuridad
Llevando en nuestra sangre el himno de Rohan

Negros navíos el viento nos trae
Nuestras esperanzas se esfuman con él
Pero en sus velas un signo se ve
El gran árbol blanco nos devuelve la fe
La maldad huye ahora a su prisión
Al ver llegar al nuevo rey
¡Libertad!, claman nuestras almas hoy
Y nuestra voz es la ley





Hoy el son de la batalla...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Red Wine's song Vencer O Morir describe a battle that is about to end after many years of darkness. The dawn's breeze alerts the end of such a long time of obscurity, but the singer's sword is impatient and seeks the clamor of the battle that is happening in Pelennor. Although their king has died, he also lay beside the great servant of evil. The pain starts within their hearts, but they will resist without fear. Today, the sound of the battle will reach their ears and they will continue fighting until they achieve victory or die. They'll advance amidst utter darkness, carrying the hymn of Rohan in their blood.


Then, the lyrics describe how black ships blow in with the wind, bringing along with them the singer's hopeless dreams of victory. However, they notice a sign in the sails of the black ships, which reveals the white great tree, giving them back their faith. At this moment, evil runs to its prison as they see their new king coming in, bringing them freedom. Their souls shout with the desire for freedom and their voice becomes law. The sound of the battle still rings in their ears, sounding like music to their ears.


In short, the song Vencer O Morir is a captivating battle song that describes the resilience and strength of the rohirrim in achieving freedom and resisting evil.
