SOLDADO HERIDO
Wounded Soldier
Lyrics and Music: Maria Hickein
Te doy Señor toda mi necedad, mi no saber, mi no poder,
I give You Lord all my folly, my not knowing, my incapacity,
mi no buscar,
my not seeking,
Pongo a Tus pies mi absurda obstinación de desconfiar
I place at Your feet my absurd obstinacy for distrusting
de Tu bondad y de Tu amor.
of Your goodness and Your love.
Dame hoy las gracias que tanto he rechazado
Give me today the graces that I have rejected so much
Por saberme indigno, por no haberte amado.
For knowing myself unworthy, for not having loved You.
Sé que el AMOR cubre multitud de pecados
I know that LOVE covers a multitude of sins
Y como pecador vengo ante Ti Señor, para ser perdonado,
And as a sinner I come before You Lord, to be forgiven,
¡perdonado!
forgiven!
Te doy Señor mi rabia y mi dolor, mi no entender,
I give You Lord, my anger and my pain, my not understanding,
mi padecer, mi frustración.
my suffering, my frustration.
Pongo a Tus pies mi orgullo y vanidad,
I place at Your feet my pride and vanity,
Entra en mi pobre corazón, ven a sanar
Enter my poor heart, come and heal
Tantas heridas que esconde mi pasado,
So many wounds hidden in my past,
Tantos sufrimientos que no he procesado...
So many sufferings that I have not processed ...
Soldado herido que regresa cansado...
Wounded soldier who returns tired...
Te doy mi voluntad, me dejo conquistar, me dejo ser
I give You my will, I let myself be conquered, I let myself be
amado, ¡amado!
loved, loved!
Te doy Señor, mi miedo a fracasar
I give You Lord, my fear of failure
A ser un barco sin timón, a naufragar.
of being a ship without a rudder, a shipwreck.
Pongo a Tus pies mis dudas, mi razón,
I place at Your feet my doubts, my reason,
Todo el temor que apaga el fuego de Tu amor.
All the fear that extinguishes the fire of Your love.
Han sido muchos los años que he pasado
It's been many years I've spent
Como un mercenario que sirve a un tirano.
Like a mercenary serving a tyrant.
Como Tomás pongo hoy mi mano en Tu costado...
As Thomas, I put my hand on Your side today ...
