Don't be beaten, even beaten,
don't feel enslaved, even slave;
tremulous with fear think yourself brave
and blast fiercely badly wounded.
Have the tenacity of a moldy nail,
that old and ruinis a nail back again;
not the coward fearlessness of the turkey
that subsides its feathers on the first sound.
Proceed as God, who never cries;
or as lucifer, who never prays;
or like the oak, which greatness
needs the water and doesn't implore it.
That bites and thunders full of vengeance
your head rolling on the dust!
I like this poem... the author is called Almafuerte and it has helped me a lot in many different situations, hope uyou like it
No te des por vencido, ni aun vencido,
no te sientas esclavo, ni aún esclavo;
trémulo de pavor, piénsate bravo,
y arremete feroz, ya mal herido.
Ten el tesón del clavo enmohecido,
que ya viejo y ruin vuelve a ser clavo;
no la cobarde intrepidez del pavo
que amaina su coraje al primer ruido.
Procede como Dios que nunca llora,
o como Lucifer que nunca reza,
o como el robledal, cuya grandeza
necesita del agua y no la implora...
¡que muerda y vocifere vengadora
ya rodando en el polvo tu cabeza!
