Las Calles de Oro

The Streets of Gold

Las Calles de Oro

Today I woke up and the first thing I thoughtHoy me he levantao' y lo primero que he pensao'
I'm going to knock on the president, tell him what I dreamedVoy a tocarle al presi, a contarle lo que he soñao'
I knocked on the door and unlocked itLe toqué la puerta y quitó el candao'
I said, 'Comrade, listen,' and sat beside himLe dije compa' escucha, y me senté a su lao'

Today I dreamed of things I've never imaginedHoy he soñado cosas que nunca me he imaginao'
As if I found meaning in this whole worldComo si a todo este mundo le he encontrao' un significao'
I've seen things that have left me amazedHe visto cosas que, me han dejao' impactao'
Rivers of life water running by our sideRíos de agua de vida nos corrían por el lao'

The path began with a long roadEl camino comenzaba con un camino alargao'
Cánovas and you were walking by my sideEl Cánovas y tú caminabais a mi lao'
We had a heavy gold pendantTeníamos un colgante de oro muy pesao'
That said 'Son of the Street,' with embedded diamondsQue ponía Son de Calle, con diamantes incrustraos'

The road was long and we were tiredEl camino era largo y estábamos fatigaos'
But the strength we had didn't let us give upPero la fuerza que teníamos no nos dejó apartaos'
It was as if the three of us were connectedEra como si los tres estuviésemos conectaos'
When one fell, the other had already lifted them upCuando uno caía, el otro ya lo había levantao'

The road ended and we saw a lightEl camino terminaba y vimos una luz
A giant door with a cross on the ceilingUna puerta gigante y en el techo había una cruz
An angel came out of the door dressed in lightUn ángel salió de la puerta vestido de luz
And said, 'Follow me, I'll take you to youth'Y dijo: Seguidme, que os llevo juventud

I felt a little scared, the three of us frightenedSentí un poco de miedo, y los tres asustaos'
Looking for a man waiting on his throneBuscando un hombre que esperaba en su trono sentao'
The angel said that a man named Jesus had called usDijo el ángel que un tal Jesús nos había llamao'
That we have been chosen to be taken awayQue hemos sido elegidos para ser arrebataos'

We arrived at a beautiful cityLleguemos a una preciosa ciudad
The gates were made of pearl and the sea was crystalLa puerta eran de perla y el mar era cristal
The streets were of gold, but not normal goldLas calles eran de oro, pero no un oro normal
It was impressive gold, it was celestial goldEra oro impresionante y era oro celestial

Suddenly someone touched me from behindDe repente alguien, me tocó por detrás
It was my old mom, and I started to cryEra mi mamá vieja, y yo me eché a llorar
She touched my face and said, 'My son, don't cry anymoreMe tocó la cara y dijo: Mi hijo, no me llores más
We will see each other someday, now I have to go'Que algún día nos veremos, ahora me tengo que marchar

She disappeared and said goodbyeDesapareció y me dijo adiós
And now I see from afar the smile of my friendY ahora ve de lejos la sonrisa de mi compadrón
I ran to hug him and my heart hurtFui corriendo pa' abrazarlo y me dolía el corazón
He whispered in my ear, 'Up here, I'm already better'Me susurró al oído: Aquí arriba, yo ya estoy mejor

We arrived at a palace of gold and diamondsLleguemos a un palacio de oro y de diamantes
And on the door it said 'The House of the Giant'Y en la puerta ponía La Casa del Gigante
The angel knocked on the door and a voice said 'come in'El ángel tocó la puerta y una voz dijo adelante
A voice so powerful, I had never heard beforeUna voz tan poderosa, que no había escuchado antes

We entered and I was dazzled by the light of a manEntramos y con la luz de un hombre me deslumbre
It was a light more powerful than the door when I enteredEra una luz más poderosa que la puerta cuando entré
Without fear, I asked, 'Who are you?'Sin miedo le dije, ¿quién es usted?
He said, 'I am God, and I created you'Me dijo: Yo soy Dios, y yo a ti te cree

I am the father, the son, and the Holy SpiritYo soy el padre, el hijo y el espíritu santo
I am the alpha, the omega, I am the holiest hereSoy el alfa, el omega, soy aquí el más santo
The demons obey me, I scare them awayLos demonios me obedecen, yo los espanto
I am the Almighty and I love you so muchSoy el todopoderoso y os amo tanto

I am God, the one who will always love youYo soy Dios, el que siempre va a amarte
I have given you the gift of being a singer todayYo te he dado el don de que hoy seas cantante
I have given you life, and even beforeYo te he dao' la vida, y encima antes
Before you were born, I already knew you would be hereAntes de que nacieras ya sabía que ibas a estar aquí delante

And I bring you, because I want to warn youY os traigo, porque quiero advertiros
To warn the world that I am still aliveQue advirtáis al mundo de que sigo vivo
Love your family and also your enemiesAma a tu familia y también a tus enemigos
Love is the medicine that keeps you aliveEl amor es la medicina que a ti te mantiene vivo

So, I woke upEntonces, yo me he despertao'
I came to your house, friend, I told youHe venio' a tu casa compa, yo te lo he contao'
Tell me how you feel now that I've explained it to youDime ahora que sientes cuando yo te lo he explicao'
And the world that is ending, cousin, leaving you asideY el mundo que se acaba, primo, y te deja apartao'
That man Jesus that the world has criticized so muchEse tal Jesús que el mundo, tanto ha criticao'

He is coming soon for us, sitting on a cloudViene pronto a por nosotros y en una nube sentao'
The invisible is not seen, but it is feltLo invisible no se ve, pero si que se siente
Just like you feel the air when it comes towards youIgual que sientes el aire cuando te viene de frente
