Cura Guerrillero

In present timesEn la actualidad
There are three currents in the church ranksHay tres corrientes en las filas de la iglesia
The traditionally conservativeLa tradicionalmente conservadora
Another one pretending to be progressiveOtra que se hace pasar por progresista
But this is just a disguise that hidesPero esto es solo un disfraz que oculta
Their futuristic opportunismSu oportunismo futurista
They know change is comingSaben que el cambio viene
And the clergy has always been with the victorY el clero siempre ha estado con el vencedor

Between these two, I don't know which one is the most dangerousEntre estas dos nos e cual es la más peligrosa
And finally, the sincere and authenticY por último la sincera y autentica
The militant and revolutionaryLa militante y revolucionaria
Inheritance of Morelos and HidalgoHerencia de Morelos e Hidalgo
With its contemporary maximum exponentQue tiene su máximo exponente contemporáneo
Father Camilo TorresEl Padre Camilo Torres

He was a priest without a haloEra un cura sin aureola
He was a priest without a rosaryEra un cura sin rosario
He was a priest without a sanctuaryEra un cura sin santuario
He was a proletarian priestEra un cura proletario

They took away his cassockLe quitaron la sotana
They stole his stoleLa estola se la robaron
They took away his sandalsLe quitaron las sandalias
And they took him to the mountainsY al monte lo remontaron

When he felt nakedCuando se sintió desnudo
Without vows, without a shirtSin votos sin camiseta
He dressed in olive greenSe vistió de verde olivo
And officiated with a machine gunY oficia con metralleta

With his finger on the triggerCon el dedo en el gatillo
He said his prayersDecía sus oraciones
He prayed for menRezaba por que los hombres
To make revolutionsHicieran revoluciones

As he walked aloneComo andaba de solitario
He met with farmersSe reunió con labradores
For seeking freedomPor buscar la libertad
They call them agitatorsLos llaman agitadores

Now the proletarian priestAhora el cura proletario
Stopped being a miracle workerDejo de ser milagrero
He is no longer a mercenary priestYa no es cura mercenario
He is now a guerilla priestYa es cura guerrillero

With his finger on the triggerCon el dedo en el gatillo
He said his prayersDecía sus oraciones
He prayed for menRezaba por que los hombres
To make revolutionsHicieran revoluciones
