Thank you Jesus, thank you MaryGracias Jesús, gracias María
My short life is fading awayMi breve vida se va
Nothing gave me more joyNada me dió más alegría
Than having done His willQue haber hecho Su voluntad

If my childhood has been toughSi mi niñez ha sido dura
And my journey has been hardY ha sido duro mi andar
From the cross a certaintyDesde la cruz una certeza
Lights up my pathAlumbra mi caminar

LoveEl amor
Will prevailPrevalecerá
Over painSobre el dolor
And violenceY la violencia
Over the frugal deathSobre la muerte frugal
LoveEl amor
Will prevailPrevalecerá
At the feet ofA los pies de
The mountain rangeLa cordillera
The Amancay will bloomFlorecerá el Amancay

Mother, it's you who held meMadre sos vos quien me sostuvo
In the brutal wildernessEn la intemperie brutal
When a jackal fed his hatredCuando un chacal cebó su odio
Upon my fragilitySobre mi fragilidad

Not one more should suffer thisNi una más que sufra ésto
Not one less eitherNi una menos también
Let no one else pay with tearsQue nadie más pague con llanto
For their condition as a womanSu condición de mujer

LoveEl Amor
Will prevailPrevalecerá
In the rosebushEn el rosal
That was drying upQue se secaba
A flower will be rebornUna flor renacerá
LoveEl amor
Will prevailPrevalecerá
At the feet ofA los pies de
The mountain rangeLa cordillera
The Amancay will bloomFlorecerá el Amancay

Like a flower giving its scent freelyComo una flor gratuitamente
To everyoneSu perfume a todos da
We have come to love in this worldA este mundo hemos venido para amar
This life is a short pathEsta vida es un camino breve
And death is a stepY la muerte un paso es
In heaven we will see each other againEn el cielo nos veremos ptra vez

LoveEl Amor
Will prevailPrevalecerá
In the rosebushEn el rosal
That was drying upQue se secaba
A flower will be rebornUna flor renacerá
LoveEl amor
Will prevailPrevalecerá
At the feet ofA los pies de
The mountain rangeLa cordillera
The Amancay will bloomFlorecerá el Amancay
