Lyrics

Un hombre hace siglos que dejó
Huella de su paso que jamás
Se borrara
Era su cantar una oración
Y era una canción su dulce voz
Al conversar
El hablaba sólo de amor
De ese amor que lleva al corazón
La paz del mundo nuevo del que llegó
Con los pies descalzos caminó
Y la tierra entera la cruzó
Y habló y habló
Su palabra fue la claridad
Que con hermosa luz nos disipó
La oscuridad
Dijo que el morir no es el final
Que todavía queda más allá amor
Inmenso amor en otra vida
Dio su corazón por ti y por mi
Y a cambio de amor le dieron hiel
Vino para que fueras feliz
Cuéntame que has hecho tú por él
Yo sé que un día tiene que volver
Para recoger lo que sembró
Con humildad
Y si el campo está sin florecer
Y la semilla ve que se perdió
El lloraba
Pero es tiempo aun para sembrar
Y hacer que viva en ti la flor del bien
Y así poderle dar la bienvenida
Dio su corazón por ti y por mi
Y a cambio de amor le dieron hiel
Vino para que fueras feliz
Cuéntame que has hecho tú por él

Lyrics translation

A man centuries ago left
Footprint of his step that never
It will be deleted
It was his singing a prayer
And it was a song his sweet voice
When chatting
He spoke only of love
Of that love that leads to the heart
The peace of the new world from which it came
Barefoot walked
And the whole Earth crossed it
And spoke and spoke
His word was clarity
That with beautiful light dissipated us
Darkness
He said that dying is not the end
That still remains beyond love
Immense love in another life
He gave his heart for you and for me
And in exchange for love they gave him gall
He came to make you happy
Tell me what you did for him.
I know that one day he has to come back
To reap what he sowed
With humility
And if the field is not blooming
And the seed sees that it is lost
He was crying.
But it's still time to sow
And make the flower of good live in you
And so I can welcome you
He gave his heart for you and for me
And in exchange for love they gave him gall
He came to make you happy
Tell me what you did for him.
