| I left Jerusalem last week for Jericho
| Salí de Jerusalén la semana pasada hacia Jericó
|
| In the afternoon, the sun was getting low
| Por la tarde, el sol se estaba poniendo
|
| And then the bushes shook, and out they came at me
| Y luego los arbustos temblaron, y vinieron hacia mí
|
| They were robbing me, half-naked, while they beat me head to toe
| Me estaban robando, semidesnudo, mientras me golpeaban de pies a cabeza
|
| And they left me on the road to Jericho
| Y me dejaron en el camino de Jericó
|
| Lying almost slain, and wounded by the road
| Yaciendo casi asesinado, y herido por el camino
|
| Crying out in pain for a sympathetic soul
| Gritando de dolor por un alma compasiva
|
| First a priest, and then another of my kind
| Primero un sacerdote, y luego otro de mi especie
|
| Well, they were men I could have trusted, but they acted deaf and blind
| Bueno, eran hombres en los que podría haber confiado, pero actuaron sordos y ciegos.
|
| They were strangers on the road to Jericho
| Eran forasteros en el camino a Jericó
|
| Oh, Jericho
| Oh, Jericó
|
| Jericho
| Jericó
|
| Oh, Jericho
| Oh, Jericó
|
| Oh, Jericho
| Oh, Jericó
|
| Through the blood and tears, I saw a worried face
| A través de la sangre y las lágrimas, vi un rostro preocupado
|
| He was from Samaria, my people hate his race
| Era de Samaria, mi pueblo odia su raza
|
| He bandaged up my wounds and he laid me on his horse
| Vendó mis heridas y me acostó en su caballo
|
| Although my memory is cloudy, I can still feel his friendly flow
| Aunque mi memoria está nublada, todavía puedo sentir su flujo amistoso.
|
| Such a kind man on the road to Jericho
| Un hombre tan amable en el camino a Jericó
|
| Jericho
| Jericó
|
| When I later asked the innkeeper the man’s name he did not know
| Cuando más tarde le pregunté al posadero el nombre del hombre, él no sabía
|
| Just a neighbor on the road to Jericho
| Sólo un vecino en el camino a Jericó
|
| Jericho
| Jericó
|
| Jericho
| Jericó
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh
| Oh oh oh oh
|
| Jericho
| Jericó
|
| No, oh, oh, oh
| no, oh, oh, oh
|
| Jericho | Jericó |
