Sólo le pido a Dios [English translation]

English

All I ask of God

All I ask of God

That pain does not leave me indifferent,

And that parched death will not find me

Alone and empty not having done sufficient.

All I ask of God

That I not be indifferent to injustice

That they won’t slap my other cheek,

After their talon has scraped away my luck.

All I ask of God

That I not be indifferent to war,

It’s a big monster which crushes

All the poor innocence of the people.

All I ask of God

That I am be indifferent to deceit,

If a traitor can do more than the masses,

Then let not the masses forget him easily.

All I ask of God

That i am not indifferent to the future,

Hopeless is he who has to go away

To live a different culture.

All I ask of God

That i am not indifferent to war,

It’s a big monster that crushes

All the poor innocence of people.
