Sólo le pido a Dios [English translation]

I ask only of God

that I am not unmoved by suffering,

that the dry death does not find me

empty and alone, without having done what was needed.

I ask only of God

that I am not unmoved by injustice,

that I am not slapped on the other cheek,

after resigning myself to injury by a claw.

I ask only of God

that I am not unmoved by war,

it is a huge monster and tramples heavily

all the poor innocence of the people.

I ask only of God

that I am not unmoved by deception,

if one traitor may overcome a multitude,

that multitude will not forget it easily.

I only ask of God

That I am not unconcerned about the future,

hollowed out is the person who has to go

to live a dfferent culture.

I ask only of God

that I am not unmoved by war,

it is a huge monster and tramples heavily

all the poor innocence of the people.
