Traducción de la letra de la canción Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport - B.J. Thomas

Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport (original)

If they saw Him riding in, long hair flying in the wind
Would they love Him down in Shreveport today?
If they heard He was a Jew and a Palestinian too
Would they love Him down in Nashville today?
If they saw Him talk with ease to the junkies, whores, and thieves
Would they love Him out in Wichita today?
Would the rich men think it funny if He said give up your money?
Would they love Him up on Wall Street today?
If He made the wine from water, gave it to their sons and daughters
What would the folks in Salt Lake City say?
If He talked of brotherhood as he walked their neighborhoods
Would they love Him up in Boston today?
If He said love those who use you, and forgive those who abuse you
If He turned the other cheek, what would you say?
Would you laugh and call Him crazy, and just send Him on his way
If Jesus came to your town today?

Would They Love Him Down In Shreveport (traducción)

Si lo vieran cabalgando, cabello largo ondeando al viento
¿Lo amarían en Shreveport hoy?
Si escucharan que Él era judío y también palestino
¿Lo amarían en Nashville hoy?
Si lo vieran hablar con soltura a los yonquis, putas y ladrones
¿Lo amarían hoy en Wichita?
¿A los hombres ricos les parecería gracioso si les dijera que den su dinero?
¿Lo amarían en Wall Street hoy?
Si hizo el vino del agua, se lo dio a sus hijos e hijas
¿Qué diría la gente de Salt Lake City?
Si hablaba de hermandad mientras caminaba por sus barrios
¿Lo amarían en Boston hoy?
Si te dijera ama a los que te usan y perdona a los que te abusan
Si Él pusiera la otra mejilla, ¿qué dirías?
¿Te reirías y lo llamarías loco, y simplemente lo enviarías por su camino?
¿Si Jesús viniera hoy a tu pueblo?
