Mi pueblo, escúchame lo que voy a decirte
My people, hear me out, what I'm about to say
Solo será un minuto, si tienes que irte
It'll only take a minute, if you have to leave
No quiero digas nada, simplemente escucha
I don't want you to say anything, just listen
Perdona si en un momento te interrumpa
Forgive me if I interrupt you for a moment
Hoy hacen dos mil años fui crucificado
Today marks two thousand years since I was crucified
Mi cuerpo escupido y ensangrentado
My body spat upon and bloodied
Llevé todas tus culpas sobre mi costado
I bore all your sins upon my side
Para darte la vida eterna como un regalo
To give you eternal life as a gift
Y hoy surgen preguntas, ¿por qué no me escuchas?
And today questions arise, why don't you listen to me?
¿Por qué no me miras? ¿Por qué no me abrazas?
Why don't you look at me? Why don't you embrace me?
La hipocresía ha cegado tu mente
Hypocrisy has blinded your mind
Y dices que me amas
And you say that you love me
Te has hecho muy fuerte en tus razonamientos
You've become so strong in your reasoning
Has cambiado mi gloria por tus sentimientos
You've swapped my glory for your feelings
A veces, por las noches, vengo y te despierto
Sometimes, at night, I come and wake you up
Pero, ya no te importa hablarme un momento
But now you don't care to talk to me for a moment
Te pasas todo el tiempo hablando cosas vanas
You spend all your time talking about vain things
Si la televisión, las modas o la fama
Like television, fashion, or fame
Has perdido la santidad que en ti brillaba
You've lost the holiness that once shone in you
Sabes más de novelas que de mi palabra
You know more about novels than about my word
Mi anhelo es usarte, que muestres mi gloria
My longing is to use you, to show my glory
Llenarte de unción y que rebose tu copa
To fill you with anointing and let your cup overflow
Que cambies el mundo cada vez que hables
To change the world every time you speak
Pues, el tiempo se agota, se agota
For time is running out, it's running out
Recuerda cuando no estabas en mis brazos
Remember when you weren't in my arms
Llorabas como un niño hambriento y descalzo
You cried like a hungry, barefoot child
En cámara lenta, tú y yo nos juntamos
In slow motion, you and I came together
Las lágrimas caían, bailando en un charco
Tears were falling, dancing in a puddle
Te di una nueva vida, te abrí nuevas puertas
I gave you a new life, opened new doors for you
Llené tu corazón, borrando la tristeza
I filled your heart, erasing the sadness
Hoy dices que ya tienes hechas tus maletas
Today you say you already have your bags packed
Te vas al mundo, no importa qué suceda
You're leaving for the world, no matter what happens
No puedes negar, siempre estuve contigo
You can't deny, I was always with you
Ojalá que, si vuelves, yo no me haya ido
I hope that if you return, I haven't gone away
Entonces, será demasiado tarde
Then it will be too late
Y no podrás encontrarme
And you won't be able to find me
Tus mejillas se gastarán de llorar por mí
Your cheeks will wear out from crying for me
Cuando recuerdes los momentos junto a ti
When you remember the moments next to you
Tus mejillas se gastarán de llorar por mí
Your cheeks will wear out from crying for me
Cuando recuerdes los momentos junto a ti
When you remember the moments next to you
Regresa a mí, a mí (regresa a mí)
Come back to me, to me (come back to me)
Regresa a mí, a mí (ah-ah)
Come back to me, to me (ah-ah)
Regresa a mí, a mí (oh-oh)
Come back to me, to me (oh-oh)
Regresa a mí, a mí
Come back to me, to me
