Lyrics

Tengo un Dios admirable en los cielos,
y el amor de su Espíritu Santo;
por su gracia yo soy hombre nuevo
y de gozo se llena mi canto.
De su imagen yo soy un reflejo,
que me lleva por siempre en victoria,
y me ha hecho cabeza y no cola;
en mi Cristo yo todo lo puedo.
Jesús me dijo que me riera,
si el enemigo me tienta en la carrera.
Y también me dijo: -no te mortifiques,
que yo le envío mis avispas pa' que lo piquen-.
¡Es verdad!
Tengo un Dios admirable en los cielos,
que me libra de mal y temores.
Es mi roca y mi gran fortaleza,
y me colma con sus bendiciones.
Mi señor siempre me hace justicia,
me defiende de los opresores;
no me deja ni me desampara,
pues mi Dios es Señor de señores.
Jesús me dijo que me riera,
si el enemigo me tienta en la carrera.
Y también me dijo: -no, no, no, no te mortifiques,
que yo le envío mis avispas pa' que lo piquen-.
¡Es verdad!
Jesús me dijo (ya lo ves) que me riera,
si el enemigo me tienta en la carrera.
Y también me dijo: -no, no, no te mortifiques, (túlo ves)
que yo le envío mis avispas pa' que lo piquen-. (¡Ojoooyeee!)
¡Uuuuuujuu!, ¡Avispas!
Pa' que lo piquen (en la cara, ves), pa' que lo piquen (y en los pies),
que yo le envío mis avispas pa' que lo piquen. (lo piquen otra vez)
Pa' que lo piquen (en la carretera), pa' que lo piquen (y en medio 'e la acera),
que yo le envío mis avispas pa' que lo piquen (¡sí!)
Que lo piquen, lo piquen, lo piquen y lo piquen
(que lo piquen en el dedo más chiquito pa' que afinque)
Que lo piquen, lo piquen, lo piquen y lo piquen
(que lo piquen en la cola pa' que salte como un lince)
Que lo piquen, lo piquen, lo piquen y lo piquen
(Señor…)
Que lo piquen, lo piquen, lo piquen y lo piquen
(que lo piquen en la cara pa' que no me mortifique)
Que lo piquen, lo piquen, lo piquen y lo piquen
(que lo piquen en los huesos pa' que salte y pa' que brinque)
Que lo piquen, lo piquen, lo piquen y lo piquen
(donde quiera que se meta yo quisiera que lo piquen)
Que lo piquen, lo piquen, lo piquen y lo piquen
(Señor…)
Que lo piquen, lo piquen, lo piquen y lo piquen
(que lo piquen en la cara pa' que no me mortifique)
Jesús me dijo que me riera,
si el enemigo me tienta en la carrera.
Y también me dijo: -no, no, no, no te mortifiques,
que yo le envío mis avispas pa' que lo piquen-.
¡Es verdad!
Jesús me dijo (ya lo ves) que me riera, (jajajaja)
si el enemigo me tienta en la carrera.
Y también me dijo: -no, no, no, no, no te mortifiques,
que yo le envío mis avispas pa' que lo piquen-. (¡Oyeee!)
¡Uuuuuujuu!

Lyrics translation

I have an admirable God in heaven,
and the love of his Holy Spirit;
by His grace I am a new man
and my song is filled with joy.
From his image I am a reflection,
that takes me forever in victoria,
and it has made me head and not tail;
in my Christ I can do everything.
Jesus told me to laugh,
if the enemy tempts me in the race.
And he also said to me: -do not mortify yourself,
that I send him my Wasps pa ' to sting him-.
It's true!
I have an admirable God in heaven,
rid me of evil and fear.
It's my rock and my great fortress,
and he fills me with his blessings.
My Lord always does me justice,
defend me from oppressors;
he won't leave me or forsake me,
for my God Is Lord of Lords.
Jesus told me to laugh,
if the enemy tempts me in the race.
And he also said to me: -no, no, no, don't mortify yourself,
that I send him my Wasps pa ' to sting him-.
It's true!
Jesus told me (you see) to laugh,
if the enemy tempts me in the race.
And he also said to me: - no, no, do not be mortified, (you see)
that I send him my Wasps pa ' to sting him-. (Ojoooyeee!)
Uuuuuujuu! Wasps!
Pa 'they sting him (in the face, you see), pa' they sting him (and in the feet),
that I send him my Wasps to sting him. (poke it again)
To be pricked (on the road), to be pricked (and in the middle of the sidewalk),
that I send him my Wasps to sting him (yes!)
Let it be pricked, pricked, pricked and pricked
(to be pricked on the tiniest finger pa ' to fine tune)
Let it be pricked, pricked, pricked and pricked
(to be pricked in the tail to jump like a lynx)
Let it be pricked, pricked, pricked and pricked
(Lord…)
Let it be pricked, pricked, pricked and pricked
(to prick him in the face pa' that I do not mortify)
Let it be pricked, pricked, pricked and pricked
(to be pricked in the bones to jump and to jump)
Let it be pricked, pricked, pricked and pricked
(wherever he gets into it I'd like him to be pricked)
Let it be pricked, pricked, pricked and pricked
(Lord…)
Let it be pricked, pricked, pricked and pricked
(to prick him in the face pa' that I do not mortify)
Jesus told me to laugh,
if the enemy tempts me in the race.
And he also said to me: -no, no, no, don't mortify yourself,
that I send him my Wasps pa ' to sting him-.
It's true!
Jesus told me (you see) to laugh at me, (hahaha)
if the enemy tempts me in the race.
And he also said to me: -no, no, no, no, don't mortify yourself,
that I send him my Wasps pa ' to sting him-. (Oyeee!)
Uuuuuujuu!
