| A certain man one day did go down to Jericho
| Cierto hombre un día bajó a Jericó
|
| Fallin' among thieves along the way
| Cayendo entre ladrones en el camino
|
| Well they stripped him then they fled
| Bueno, lo desnudaron y luego huyeron.
|
| Leaving him for dead
| Dejándolo por muerto
|
| Lying on the side of the road
| Tumbado a un lado de la carretera
|
| And then the priest came passing by He crossed over to the other side
| Y luego pasó el sacerdote, cruzó al otro lado
|
| Then the Levite came and he did just the same
| Entonces vino el levita e hizo lo mismo
|
| When the Samaritan heard his cry
| Cuando el samaritano escuchó su clamor
|
| He just could not pass on by He dressed his wounds and he carried to the nearest inn
| Simplemente no podía pasar de largo. Vendó sus heridas y lo llevó a la posada más cercana.
|
| (Chorus)
| (Coro)
|
| Well he reached down, he reached down
| Bueno, se agachó, se agachó
|
| He got right there on the ground
| Llegó justo allí en el suelo
|
| He reached down, he reached down
| Se agachó, se agachó
|
| And he touched the pain
| Y tocó el dolor
|
| He paid the keeper the amount that was due
| Pagó al guardián la cantidad que debía
|
| If you need more he said I’m good for that too
| Si necesitas más, dijo que también soy bueno para eso.
|
| He reached down, he reached down
| Se agachó, se agachó
|
| And he touched the pain
| Y tocó el dolor
|
| (Verse 2)
| (Verso 2)
|
| And then the Scribes in the Pharicese
| Y luego los escribas en el Faricese
|
| Brought the adultress in for Jesus to see
| Trajo a la adúltera para que Jesús la viera
|
| Lord, she’s sinned, now the law says she must be stoned
| Señor, ella ha pecado, ahora la ley dice que debe ser apedreada
|
| If there’s a one of you that’s without sin
| Si hay uno de vosotros que no tiene pecado
|
| Said you can cast the first stone in One by one they left, leaving Jesus and the woman alone
| Dijo que puedes tirar la primera piedra en Uno por uno se fueron, dejando a Jesús y a la mujer solos
|
| Well no accusers are left that I see
| Pues no quedan acusadores que yo vea
|
| And Woman, neither do I condemn thee
| Y mujer, ni yo te condeno
|
| He reached down, he reached down
| Se agachó, se agachó
|
| And he touched the pain
| Y tocó el dolor
|
| (Verse 3)
| (Verso 3)
|
| In the (Bible??) a story is told
| En la (Biblia??) se cuenta una historia
|
| About a traveler at the end of life’s road
| Sobre un viajero al final del camino de la vida
|
| He’s at the gates of the Kingdom and the Master says «Come on in»
| Está a las puertas del Reino y el Maestro dice «Adelante»
|
| For I was hungry and you gave me meat
| Porque tuve hambre y me disteis de comer
|
| I was cold you put shoes on my feet
| tenia frio me pusiste zapatos en los pies
|
| When I was in prison there was you who come to see about me
| Cuando estaba en la carcel estabas tu que vienes a verme
|
| (Chorus Modified)
| (Coro Modificado)
|
| Well you reached down, you reached down
| Bueno, te agachaste, te agachaste
|
| You got right there on the ground
| Tienes justo allí en el suelo
|
| You reached down, you reached down
| Te agachaste, te agachaste
|
| And you touched my pain
| Y tocaste mi dolor
|
| When you’re debted to the least of these
| Cuando estás en deuda con el menor de estos
|
| He said you were doin' it unto me You reached down, you reached down
| Él dijo que me lo estabas haciendo a mí Te agachaste, te agachaste
|
| And you touched my pain
| Y tocaste mi dolor
|
| Well he reached down, he reached down | Bueno, se agachó, se agachó |
