Spanish term or phrase: restallaban aquellos latigazos en los que se habían convertido sus recuerdos
Contexto:

Pero, a mi pesar, faltaba una parte de mi corazón. Esa parte era tu padre, Sophie, que había sido obligado a ir a la guerra. No sé si era por el efecto nostálgico de la soledad, pero cada vez que llegaba la noche restallaban aquellos latigazos en los que se habían convertido sus recuerdos y de cómo, hacía años, arengaba a los trabajadores a seguir con ese mismo espíritu con el que les conoció.

"the pain, like lashes from a whip, tore into my heart", or some such thing?" Although I think the protagonist is comparing it to the cracking of the whip, like what was done over the backs of the slaves, on other plantations, but not on hers.

Mil Gracias,

Barbara

Those whip lashes her memories had turned into used to crack in her mind.


Explanation:
Other versions offered before, have the right words, but the wrong grammar, so they sound like English words in a Spanish sentence.
The "pretérito imperfecto" from Spanish is the equivalent of the expression "used to + verb." Also in English, word order has to be respected: Subject + verb + Object (complement)
