| In the first hour of the day
| En la primera hora del día
|
| Our Lord, he finally knows that
| Nuestro Señor, finalmente sabe que
|
| Like a murderer he’ll be judged
| Como un asesino será juzgado
|
| By that heathen Pontius Pilate
| Por ese pagano Poncio Pilato
|
| Pilate shall refuse the blame
| Pilato rechazará la culpa
|
| And wash his hands in water
| y lavar sus manos en agua
|
| Then the innocent condemned
| Entonces los inocentes condenados
|
| The innocent condemned
| El inocente condenado
|
| Sent off to the slaughter
| Enviado al matadero
|
| In the third hour God’s own son
| En la hora tercera el propio hijo de Dios
|
| Flails and scourges flayed him
| Mayales y flagelos lo desollaron
|
| On his head a thorny crown
| Sobre su cabeza una corona de espinas
|
| That the soldiers had made him
| Que los soldados le habían hecho
|
| Dressed in rags and mockery
| Vestida de harapos y burla
|
| Oh, they beat him and deride him
| Oh, lo golpean y se burlan de él
|
| And the cross of his own death
| Y la cruz de su propia muerte
|
| The cross of his own death
| La cruz de su propia muerte
|
| He’ll drag along beside him
| Se arrastrará a su lado
|
| In the sixth hour, naked and cold
| En la hora sexta, desnudo y frío
|
| On a cross they staked him
| En una cruz lo estacaron
|
| As his blood spilled down
| Mientras su sangre se derramaba
|
| He prayed for his father to save him
| Rezó para que su padre lo salvara.
|
| One thief laughed and one thief wept
| Un ladrón se rió y un ladrón lloró
|
| As he died beside them
| Mientras moría junto a ellos
|
| While the sun withdrew its light
| Mientras el sol retiraba su luz
|
| The sun withdrew its light
| El sol retiró su luz
|
| Hoping thus to hide him
| esperando así ocultarlo
|
| Jesus screamed by hour nine
| Jesús gritó a la hora nueve
|
| Why does God forsake him?
| ¿Por qué Dios lo abandona?
|
| In his mouth a bitter gall
| En su boca una hiel amarga
|
| Vinegar to slake him
| Vinagre para saciarlo
|
| Finally he gave up his ghost
| Finalmente entregó su fantasma
|
| The mountains disassembled
| Las montañas desmontadas
|
| And the veils were rent in twain
| Y los velos se rasgaron en dos
|
| The veils were rent in twain
| Los velos se rasgaron en dos
|
| And the whole world trembled
| Y el mundo entero tembló
|
| Dark and sudden the nighttime fell
| Oscura y repentina cayó la noche
|
| The mocking crowds were scattered
| Las multitudes burlonas se dispersaron
|
| Jesus' sides were torn by spears
| Los costados de Jesús fueron desgarrados por lanzas
|
| The two thieves, their bones were shattered
| Los dos ladrones, sus huesos fueron destrozados
|
| Still the blood and water flows
| Todavía la sangre y el agua fluye
|
| And still their mocking laughter
| Y aún su risa burlona
|
| Thus befell the Son of Man
| Así le sucedió al Hijo del Hombre
|
| Befell the Son of Man
| Aconteció al Hijo del Hombre
|
| And many people after
| Y mucha gente después
|
| Thus befell the Son of Man
| Así le sucedió al Hijo del Hombre
|
| Befell the Son of Man
| Aconteció al Hijo del Hombre
|
| And many people after | Y mucha gente después |
