Las Manos
Que hermosas son las manos
Del humilde, labrador
Que se sumen, en la tierra
Que trabajan, sol a sol
Que bonitas, son las manos
De una novia, en el altar
Y que tristes son las manos
Que van en, un funeral
Diga usted, si hay mas ternura
Que se pueda imaginar
Que en las manos pequeñitas
De los niños, al rezar
Diga usted, diga usted, si hay mas ternura
Que se pueda imaginar
Que en las manos, incomparables
De una madre, al acariciar
Y aquel, aquel que no la tenga
Bueno que, que perdone mi canción
Es que yo, yo quiero hablar de manos santas
Y para mi las de madre, las de madre, esas, esas son
Pero hay manos, que son garras
Cegadas por la ambición
Que ordenan: ¡a la guerra!
Y causan desolación
Pero hay dos manos, hay dos manos que el hombre
Hace, hace tiempo ya olvidó
Son manos, que fueron golpeadas
Humilladas por el odio, por el rencor
Pero también son manos hicieron milagros
Son manos, son manos que dieron amor
Mucho amor
Por eso por favor miren bien
Miren bien, yo quiero que vean
Quiero que vean, pues
Pues son las manos de Dios
The Hands
How beautiful are the hands
Of the humble, laborer
That sink into the earth
That work, sun to sun
How pretty are the hands
Of a bride, at the altar
And how sad are the hands
That go to a funeral
Tell me, is there more tenderness
Than one can imagine
Than in the tiny hands
Of children, when they pray
Tell me, tell me, is there more tenderness
Than one can imagine
Than in the incomparable hands
Of a mother, when she caresses
And those, those who don't have them
Well, let them forgive my song
It's just that I want to talk about holy hands
And for me, a mother's hands, a mother's hands, those, those are
But there are hands, that are claws
Blinded by ambition
That order: to war!
And cause desolation
But there are two hands, there are two hands that man
Made, long ago forgot
They are hands, that were beaten
Humiliated by hatred, by resentment
But they are also hands that performed miracles
They are hands, hands that gave love
Much love
That's why please look closely
Look closely, I want you to see
I want you to see, well
Well, they are the hands of God
