Consagración del pan y el vino

Consecration of Bread and Wine

Consagración del pan y el vino

When you took the breadCuando tomaron el pan
in your hands, Christ,tus manos de hombre, Cristo,
looking up to the sky you said:mirando al cielo dijiste:
this is the proof that I exist.ésta es la prueba que existo.

To your disciples you gaveA tus discípulos diste
the sacred bread of life,el pan de vida sagrado,
to each one their portiona cada uno su parte
you distributed in pieces.le repartiste en pedazos.

Perhaps in a clay jarTal vez en jarro de greda
you poured out your blood one day,echaste tu sangre un día,
distributed it to the people,la repartiste al pueblo,
quenched the thirst that was there.mataste la sed que había.

And in red wine your bloodY en vino rojo tu sangre
turned that time,se convirtió aquella vez,
if you don't mind losing itsi no te importa perderla
to the earth it shall return.a la tierra ha de volver.
