You Gave Me a Mountain

Me diste una montaña

You Gave Me a Mountain

Nacido en el calor del desierto mi madre murió dándome vidaBorn in the heat of the desert my mother died giving me life
Privados del amor de un padre culpado por la pérdida de su esposaDeprived of the love of a father blamed for the loss of his wife
Sabes Señor, he sido prisionero por algo que nunca he hechoYou know Lord I've been a prisoner for something I've never done
Ha sido una colina tras otra y los he escalado uno por unoIt's been one hill after another and I've climbed them all one by one

Pero esta vez, Señor, me diste una montaña, una montaña a la que nunca suboBut this time Lord you gave me a mountain a mountain I may never climb
Y ya no es una colina me diste una montaña esta vezAnd it isn't a hill any longer you gave me a mountain this time

Mi mujer se cansó de las dificultades cansadas del dolor y la luchaMy woman grew tired of the hardships tired of the grief and the strife
Cansado de trabajar para nada cansado de ser mi esposaTired of working for nothing tired of being my wife
Tomó mi único rayo de sol. Tomó mi orgullo y mi alegríaShe took my one ray of sunshine she took my pride and my joy
Tomó mi razón para vivir. Se llevó a mi pequeño niñoShe took my reason for living she took my small baby boy

Y esta vez Señor me diste una montañaAnd this time Lord you gave me a mountain...
