Sólo le pido a Dios [English translation]

I only ask God

to not be detached from pain,

that the dried-up death don't find me

alone and empty, without having done enough.

I only ask God

to not be detached from injustice,

that I don't want to be slapped on the other cheek,

because those teeth already ripped out the luck from me.

I only ask God

to not be detached from war,

It's a giant monster and it strikes hard

all the poorly innocence of people.

I only ask God

to not be detached from delusion,

If a traitor can do more than a few,

may those few not be easily forgotten.

I only ask God

to not be detached from future,

hopeless is the one who has to depart

and live into a different culture.

I only ask God

to not be detached from war,

It's a giant monster and it strikes hard

al the poorly innocence of people.
