Sobre Todo Amor
A veces la pobreza es dolorosa
Y el pobre que la sufre se endurece
Le resulta tan amargo y humillante
El tener que mendigar el pan
Por eso es tan difícil ser su siervo
No dando con desprecio una limosna
Y no darles solamente pan y sopa
Sino darles sobre todo santo amor
Amor en la dulzura y la sonrisa
Amor en gentileza y buen humor
Mas amor entre más grosero, sucio y repugnante
Sea el pobre tu señor
Eres siervo de ese pobre susceptible
Tan herido en su más alta dignidad
Solo por el amor él te perdona
El pan que humildemente le darás
Amor en la dulzura y la sonrisa
Amor en gentileza y buen humor
Mas amor entre más grosero, sucio y repugnante
Sea el pobre tu señor
Above All Love
Sometimes poverty is painful
And the poor who suffer from it hardens
It becomes so bitter and humiliating
Having to beg for bread
That's why it's so difficult to be their servant
Not giving with disdain a handout
And not just giving them bread and soup
But giving them above all holy love
Love in sweetness and smiles
Love in kindness and good humor
But love even more when
The poor are rude, dirty, and repugnant
Let the poor be your master
You are a servant to that sensitive poor
So wounded in their highest dignity
Only through love does he forgive you
For the bread you humbly give
Love in sweetness and smiles
Love in kindness and good humor
But love even more when
The poor are rude, dirty, and repugnant
Let the poor be your master
