El Niño de Belén

The Child of Bethlehem

El Niño de Belén

They told me there's aMe dijeron que hay un
Child in BethlehemNiño en Belén
Who came to the world to be bornQue vino al mundo a nacer
To save usPara salvar

And I don't knowY no sé
If it's delirium or if it's faithSi es delirio o esto es fe
But my soul needs to be rebornPero mi alma necesita renacer

I don't know much about hermeneuticsNo sé mucho de hermenéutica
Liturgy, apologeticsLiturgia, apologética
I've lived among the criticsHe vivido entre la crítica
Relying on my logicDependiendo de mi lógica

But something in himPero algo en él
Calls meMe llama
Calls meMe llama
Calls meMe llama

They say it's himDicen que es él
God with us, EmmanuelDios con nosotros, Emmanuel
That in a manger he was bornQue en un pesebre ha nacido
Our kingNuestro rey

Is it¿Acaso es
The star I've waited for so long?La estrella que tanto esperé?
I'll leave all my doubts behindTodas mis dudas dejaré
And I will walk onY caminaré

His arrival was propheticSu llegada fue profética
And it seems paradoxicalY pareciera paradójica
That they expected the MessiahQue esperaban al Mesías
In royalty or in politicsEn realeza o en política

But in humilityPero en humildad
He calls meMe llama
Calls meMe llama
Calls meMe llama
Calls meMe llama

And when I look into his eyesY cuando lo vea a los ojos
I'll shout to the mountainsGritaré a las montañas
That even if what I have is littleQue aunque lo que tenga es poco
Be it failures or medalsSean fracasos o medallas

I'll leave it allTodo dejaré
For the child of BethlehemPor el niño de Belén
For the child of BethlehemPor el niño de Belén

Hallelujah, he was born to us in BethlehemAleluya, nos ha nacido en Belén
Hallelujah, to Christ Jesus, EmmanuelAleluya, a Cristo Jesús, Emmanuel

Hallelujah, he was born to us in BethlehemAleluya, nos ha nacido en Belén
Hallelujah, to Christ Jesus, EmmanuelAleluya, a Cristo Jesús, Emmanuel

Our Savior, EmmanuelNuestro Salvador, Emmanuel

And when I look into his eyesY cuando lo vea a los ojos
I'll sing with the mountainsCantaré con las montañas
That even if what I have is littleQue aunque lo que tenga es poco
Be it failures or medalsSean fracasos o medallas

I'll leave it allTodo dejaré
Time and time againUna y otra vez
For the child of BethlehemPor el niño de Belén
