Camino de la cruz

Way of the Cross

Camino de la cruz

Silently you pass carrying your crossSilencioso pasas cargando tu cruz
Your cross that is not yours but mineTu cruz que no es tuya sino mía
Barefoot on the dust of your beloved landDescalzo sobre el polvo de tu querida tierra
That today condemns you for loving anyoneQue hoy te condena por amar a cualquiera
You pass among the people without reproaching themPasas entre la gente sin reprocharles nada
And silently watch as the road lengthensY miras silencioso que el camino se alarga

With shoulders swollen from carrying the woodCon los hombros hinchados por llevar el madero
A wood burdened with the sins of the peopleUn madero cargado de pecados del pueblo
That sacrifice in which your life culminatesAquel sacrificio en que culmina tu vida
Of 33 short years, long sufferedDe 33 cortos años, largamente sufrida
33 years of life, deep preacher33 años de vida hondo predicador
Of such noble gospel and noble missionde tan noble evangelio y tan noble misión

For these sticks you were bornPara estos palos naciste
To save men like mePa´ salvar hombres como yo
Weak pilgrims who do not singDébiles peregrinos que no entonan canción

You die so many timesTú te mueres tantas veces
In my street and my nationEn mi calle y mi nación
And madly in love you die atrociouslyY loco de amor mueres de forma atroz

You didn't have a cross, you sought mineTú no tenías cruz buscaste las mías
And no matter how many times you fall, you still walkY por mucho que caigas sin embargo caminas
I will follow your steps, friend JesusSeguiré tus pasos amigo Jesús
In the end, my madness, madness of the crossAl final mi locura, locura de cruz

Thank you, Lord, thank youGracias, Señor, gracias
For carrying your crossPor cargar con tu cruz
Your cross that is not yoursTu cruz que no es tuya
But mine.Sino mía.
