Altar sin Lágrimas

Altar without Tears

Altar sin Lágrimas

Already in the lips of your people there is no outcryYa en los labios de tu pueblo no hay clamor
Nor in their chest does a humble heart existNi en su pecho existe un corazón humilde
That weeping that was shed on your altarEse llanto que en tu altar se derramaba
Were signs of their sensitive heartEran muestras de su corazón sensible

But all that is now in the pastPero todo aquello ya ha quedado atrás
There is no one to make their spirit humbleNo hay quien haga que su espíritu se humille
There is no one to seek my God with their heartNo hay quien busque a mi Dios de corazón
And ask him pleaseY le pida por favor
To forget their transgressionQue su transgresión olvide

When will we cover againCuándo volveremos a cubrir
The altar of our God with our weepingEl altar de nuestro Dios con nuestro llanto
When will we water againCuándo volveremos a regar
Our tears like a pleasing perfumeNuestras lágrimas como un perfume grato

Our heart separated from youSeparado nuestro corazón de ti
There is no consecration and you know itNo hay consagración y eso tú lo sabes
It is the reason there is no weeping or outcryEs la causa que no hay llanto ni clamor
That there are no tears, Lord, on your altarsQue no hay lágrimas, Señor, en tus altares

There is no time to listen to your voice anymoreYa no hay tiempo para escuchar tu voz
Today your people conform in their joyHoy tu pueblo se conforma en su alegría
They discard moments of prayerDesechan los momentos de oración
And the nights when you blessed usY las noches cuando tú nos bendecías

Now is the time to turn back to GodAhora es tiempo de tornarnos hacia Dios
Prepare the heart to worship himDisponer el corazón para adorarle
Let my chest finally let out that outcryDe mi pecho brote al fin a que clamor
That was extinguished at one pointQue en un tiempo se apagó
But that must be heard todayPero que hoy ha de escucharse

When will we cover againCuándo volveremos a cubrir
The altar of our God with our weepingEl altar de nuestro Dios con nuestro llanto
When will we water againCuándo volveremos a regar
Our tears like a pleasing perfumeNuestras lágrimas como un perfume grato

Our heart separated from youSeparado nuestro corazón de ti
There is no consecration and you know itNo hay consagración y eso tú lo sabes
It is the reason there is no weeping or outcryEs la causa que no hay llanto ni clamor
That there are no tears, Lord, on your altarsQue no hay lágrimas, Señor, en tus altares
