El Peregrino de Emaús
¿Qué llevabas conversando?
Me dijiste, buen amigo
Y me detuve asombrado
A la vera del camino
¿No sabes lo que ha pasado
Ayer en Jerusalén?
De Jesús de Nazareth
A quien clavaron en cruz
Por eso me vuelvo en pena
A mi aldea de Emaús
Por la calzada de Emaús
Un peregrino iba conmigo
No le conocí al caminar
Ahora sí, en la fracción del pan
Van tres días que se ha muerto
Y se acaba mi esperanza
Dicen que algunas mujeres
Al sepulcro fueron de alba
Me dijeron que algunos otros
Hoy también allá buscaron
Mas se acaba mi confianza
No encontraron a Jesús
Por eso me vuelvo triste
A mi aldea de Emaús
Por la calzada de Emaús
Un peregrino iba conmigo
No le conocí al caminar
Ahora sí, en la fracción del pan
Oh, tardíos corazones
Que ignoráis a los profetas
En la ley ya se anunció
Que el Mesías padeciera
Y por llegar a su gloria
Escogiera la aflicción
En la tarde de aquel día
Yo sentí que con Jesús
Nuestro corazón ardía
A la vista de Emaús
Por la calzada de Emaús
Un peregrino iba conmigo
No le conocí al caminar
Ahora sí, en la fracción del pan
Hizo seña de seguir
Más allá de nuestra aldea
Y la luz del Sol poniente
Pareció que se muriera
Quédate, forastero
Ponte a la mesa y bendice
Que al destello de tu luz
En la bendición del pan
Mis ojos conocerán
Al amigo de Emaús
Por la calzada de Emaús
Un peregrino iba conmigo
No le conocí al caminar
Ahora sí, en la fracción del pan
The Pilgrim to Emmaus
What were you talking about?
You told me, good friend
And I stopped in amazement
On the side of the road
Don't you know what's happened
Yesterday in Jerusalem?
Of Jesus of Nazareth
Whom they nailed to a cross
That's why I turn in sorrow
To my village of Emmaus
Along the road to Emmaus
A pilgrim was with me
I didn't know him when walking
Now yes, in the breaking of bread
It's been three days since he died
And my hope ends
They say that some women
They went to the tomb at dawn
I was told that some others
Today they also searched there
But my trust is gone
They didn't find Jesus
That's why I become sad
To my village of Emmaus
Along the road to Emmaus
A pilgrim was with me
I didn't know him when walking
Now yes, in the breaking of bread
Oh late hearts
that you ignore the prophets
In the law it was already announced
That the Messiah suffered
And to reach his glory
I would choose affliction
In the afternoon of that day
I felt that with Jesus
Our heart was burning
In sight of Emmaus
Along the road to Emmaus
A pilgrim was with me
I didn't know him when walking
Now yes, in the breaking of bread
He made a sign to continue
Beyond our village
And the light of the setting sun
He seemed to die
Stay, stranger
Come to the table and bless
That in the flash of your light
In the blessing of bread
my eyes will know
To the friend of Emmaus
Along the road to Emmaus
A pilgrim was with me
I didn't know him when walking
Now yes, in the breaking of bread
