Jesus of Nazareth (Eli Eli Eli Lama Sabactani)

Jesús Nazareno (Eli Eli Eli Lama Sabactani)

Jesus of Nazareth, nailed to the crossJesús Nazareno, clavado en la cruz
A veil of blood covered his eyesUn velo de sangre sus ojos cubrió
A simple face like a withered pallorUn rostro sencillo cual lívido mustio
Crown of thorns, given by the peopleCorona de espinas, el pueblo le dio

With a scarlet cloak and carvings in his handsCon manto de grana y talla en sus manos
Soldiers whip Christ JesusSoldados azotan al Cristo Jesús
King of the Jews!, shouted the crowd¡Rey de los judíos!, gritaba la turba
They bend their knees mocking HimDoblan sus rodillas burlándose de Él

And crucified He, divine teacherY crucificado Él, divino maestro
They gave Him vinegar with gall to drinkVinagre con hiel, diéronle a beber
Soldiers divide the holy garmentsSoldados reparten el santo vestuario
And cast lots for His cloakY sobre su capa a suerte se dio

Eli, Eli, Eli lama sabactaniEli, Eli, Eli lama sabactani
Cried the sublime divine JesusClamaba el excelso divino Jesús
The great redeemer exclaimed againEl gran redentor de nuevo exclamó
With powerful forces, He gave His SpiritCon fuerzas potentes, su Espíritu dio
