The Creation

La Creación

Everything was cold, lifeless, and gloomyTodo era frío, sin vida y tenebroso
When suddenly the voice of God was heardCuando de pronto se oyó la voz de Dios
Light tore through the darkness with a thunderLa luz rasgó con un trueno las tinieblas
And the world then emerged from nothingY el mundo entonces, de la nada surgió

The universe is bornNace el universo
The sunny earthLa tierra soleada
Laughter of dawnRisa de alborada
Of creationDe la creación

Waving spikesEspigas que ondulan
Agitated sapSavia que se agita
Beings invitingSeres que se invitan
To praise GodA alabar a Dios
