| I saw the wayward traveler, in garments tattered clad
| Vi al viajero descarriado, vestido con ropas andrajosas
|
| And traveling up the Mountain, it seemed that he was sad
| Y subiendo la Montaña, parecía que estaba triste
|
| His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone
| Su espalda estaba cargada pesadamente, su fuerza casi se había ido
|
| But he shouted as he journeyed, deliver ance will come
| Pero él gritaba mientras viajaba, la liberación vendrá
|
| Chorus: Then palms of victory, crowns of glory
| Coro: Entonces palmas de victoria, coronas de gloria
|
| Palms of victory I shall wear
| Palmas de la victoria llevaré
|
| The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow
| El sol de verano brillaba, el sudor estaba en su frente
|
| His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow
| Su ropa gastada y polvorienta, su paso parecía muy lento.
|
| But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home
| Pero siguió adelante, porque se dirigía a casa
|
| Still shouting as he journeyed, deliverance will come
| Todavía gritando mientras viajaba, la liberación vendrá
|
| The songsters in the arbor, that stood beside the way
| Los cantores en el cenador, que estaban junto al camino
|
| Attracted his attention, invited his delay
| Atrajo su atención, invitó a su retraso
|
| His watchword being Onwards, he stopped his ears and ran
| Su consigna era Adelante, se tapó los oídos y corrió
|
| And shouted as he journeyed, deliverance will come
| Y gritó mientras viajaba, la liberación vendrá
|
| I saw him in the evening, the sun was getting low
| Lo vi en la tarde, el sol se estaba poniendo
|
| He had overtopped the mounting, and reached the vale below
| Había superado el monte y llegado al valle debajo
|
| He saw the golden city, his everlasting home
| Vio la ciudad dorada, su hogar eterno
|
| And shouted hosanna, deliverance will come
| Y gritó hosanna, la liberación vendrá
|
| While gazing on the city, just o’er the narrow flood
| Mientras contemplaba la ciudad, justo sobre la estrecha inundación
|
| A band of holy angels came from the throne of God
| Un grupo de santos ángeles salió del trono de Dios
|
| They bore him on their pinions safe o’er the dashing foam
| Lo llevaron sobre sus piñones a salvo sobre la espuma veloz
|
| And joined him in his triumph, Deliverance has come | Y se unió a él en su triunfo, La liberación ha llegado |
