The Revolutionary

El Revolucionario

Never never, never in lifeNunca nunca, jamás en la vida
Even as the years go byAunque pasen y pasen los años
The story will not stop being toldDejará de contarse la historia
Of that young revolutionaryDe aquel joven revolucionario
Who bravely fought the battleQue valiente peleó la batalla
Ending on the cross of CalvaryTerminando en la cruz del Calvario

He fought relentlessly and unarmedÉl peleó sin cuartel y sin armas
For defense, he carried his wordPor defensa llevó su palabra
Valiant, he always went forwardValeroso siempre fué adelante
Never turned his back on the enemyAl rival nunca le dió la espalda
Crowning himself King of KingsCoronándose Rey de los Reyes
On that glorious morningEn aquella gloriosa mañana

As a child, he was greatly admiredCuando niño fue muy admirado
And as an adult, respected as wellY de grande también respetado
He commands the windsCon dominio reprende a los vientos
And the seas obey his voiceY a su voz se detienen los mares
He fears neither death itselfNo le teme ni a la misma muerte
Be it dominions or powersSean dominios o sean potestades

The poor were his friendsGente pobre fueron sus amigos
And the kings were his adversariesY los reyes fueron sus contrarios
He spent nights in the mountainsPor los montes pasaba las noches
Returning to his people in tearsPor su pueblo volvia llorando
He was the desired one of all the goodFue el deseado de todos los buenos
The scourge of all the evilEl azote de todos los malos

John, the beloved apostle, saidDijo Juan, el apóstol amado
Referring to him in his commentaryRefiriéndolo en su comentario
That not even in all the books of the worldQue ni en todos los libros del mundo
Could his past be decipheredSe podría descifrar su pasado
For many were the featsPorque muchas fueron las hazañas
Of that young revolutionaryDe aquel joven revolucionario
