Sólo le pido a Dios [English translation]

I only ask of God

That i am not indifferent to the pain,

That the dry death won’t find me

Empty and alone, without having done the sufficient.

I only ask of God

That i won’t be indifferent to the injustice

That they won’t slap my other cheek,

After a claw (or talon) has scratched this destiny (luck) of mine.

I only ask of God

That i am not indifferent to the battle,

It’s a big monster and it walks hardly on

All the poor innocence of people.

I only ask of God

That i am not indifferent to deceit,

If a traitor can do more than a bunch of people,

Then let not those people forget him easily.

I only ask of God

That i am not indifferent to the future,

Hopeless is he who has to go away

To live a different culture.

I only ask of God

That i am not indifferent to the battle,

It’s a big monster and it walks hardly on

All the poor innocence of people.
