Oaxacan Mass

Lila Downs

Misa Oaxaquena

Venimos a tu casa con cantos de alegría
Venimos a adorarte, rendirte honor y amarte
Oh, Padre Celestial

Un pueblo ayer quisiste
Un pueblo aquí te aclama
Señor de ayer y siempre, oye, nuestra proclama
Oh, Padre Celestial

Traemos en nosotros la fe de nuestros padres
Queremos aumentarla, queremos que la ilustres
Oh, Padre Celestial

Transforme nuestras vidas la fuerza de tu verbo
Impulse nuestros actos el fuego de tu soplo

(Oh, Padre Celestial)

Oaxacan Mass

We come to Your house with songs of joy
We come to worship You, honor You, and love You
Oh, Heavenly Father

You wanted a town yesterday
A people here cheers You
Lord of yesterday and forever, hear our proclamation
Oh, Heavenly Father

We carry within us the faith of our parents
We want to increase it, we want You to colour it
Oh, Heavenly Father

Transform our lives with the power of Your word
May the fire of Your breath inspire our actions

(Oh, Heavenly Father)
