El Galileo

The Galilean

El Galileo

In Galilee far from hereEn la Galilea lejos de aquí
One day the voice of the Galilean rang outUn día sonó la voz del Galileo
He was sent for that townFue el enviado para aquel pueblo
And the rebellious nation didn't accept himY la nación rebelde no lo recibió

Of that humble and gentle GalileanDe ese Galileo humilde y manso
The prophet Isaiah spoke long beforeEl profeta Isaías bien antes habló
He said he would come to bring good newsDijo que el vendría a traer buenas nuevas
But his homeland turned him awayPero su patria lo rechazó

Holy Galilean, Divine JesusSanto Galileo, Divino Jesús
I hear his voice and I accept himSu Voz escuche y lo acepte
Today I have lightHoy yo tengo luz

That Galilean came to spread the wordEse Galileo vino a evangelizar
And announce the time of salvationY anunciar el tiempo de la salvación
He came to give sight to the blindÉl vino a dar visión a los ciegos
And freedom to the captivesY a los cautivos la libertación

They never believed he was the MessiahQue era el Mesías nunca lo creyeron
Because he was poor and a workerPorque era pobre y trabajador
He had no place to rest his headNo tuvo lugar para su reposo
But he was the Savior of this worldPero de este mundo fue El Salvador

Holy Galilean, Divine JesusSanto Galileo, Divino Jesús
I hear his voice and I accept himSu Voz escuche y lo acepte
Today I have lightHoy yo tengo luz
