Wicked Messenger

Hubo un mensajero malvadoThere was a wicked messenger
de Eli vino,from Eli he did come,
Con una mente que multiplicabaWith a mind that multiplied
el menor asuntothe smallest matter
Cuando se le preguntó quién lo envióWhen questioned who had sent for him
respondió con un pulgar.he answered with a thumb.
Porque su lengua no podía hablar, solo halagarFor his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter

Se quedó detrás del salón de asambleas,He stayed behind the assembly hall,
allí hizo su cama,it was there that he made his bed,
A menudo se le veía regresar.Oftentimes he could be seen returning.
Hasta que un día simplemente aparecióUntil one day he just appeared
con una nota en su mano que decía,with a note in his hand which read,
"Las plantas de mis pies, juro que están ardiendo"."The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning".

Las hojas comenzaron a caerThe leaves began to fallin'
Y los mares comenzaron a separarse,And the seas began to part,
Y la gente que lo enfrentaba era muchaAnd the people that confronted him were many
Y le dijeron estas últimas palabras,And he was told these last few words,
Que abrieron su corazón,Which opened up his heart,
"Si no puedes traer buenas noticias, entonces no traigas ninguna""If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
