| There once was a man born of high circumstance
| Había una vez un hombre nacido de alta circunstancia
|
| Heir to advantage, He had every chance to succeed
| Heredero de la ventaja, tenía todas las posibilidades de éxito
|
| But light from the cross made his dreams appear small
| Pero la luz de la cruz hizo que sus sueños parecieran pequeños
|
| And to their surprise he went far--from it all
| Y para su sorpresa, se alejó de todo.
|
| For the love of his Savior, for one priceless jewel
| Por el amor de su Salvador, por una joya invaluable
|
| They could not understand so they called him a fool
| No podían entender, así que lo llamaron tonto.
|
| He is no fool
| el no es tonto
|
| If he would choose
| si el eligiera
|
| To give the thing he cannot keep
| Dar lo que no puede conservar
|
| To buy what he can never lose
| Para comprar lo que nunca puede perder
|
| To see a treasure in one soul
| Para ver un tesoro en un alma
|
| That far outshines the brightest gold
| Eso eclipsa con creces el oro más brillante
|
| He is no fool, He is no fool
| No es tonto, no es tonto
|
| He is no fool, He is no fool
| No es tonto, no es tonto
|
| There once was a boy who could run like the wind
| Había una vez un niño que podía correr como el viento
|
| Given to lead, every man was his friend at the line
| Dado a liderar, cada hombre era su amigo en la línea
|
| But light from the cross made his race appear small
| Pero la luz de la cruz hizo que su raza pareciera pequeña
|
| And to their amazement, he followed the call
| Y para su asombro, siguió la llamada
|
| For the love of his Savior, for one priceless jewel
| Por el amor de su Salvador, por una joya invaluable
|
| They could not understand so they called him a fool
| No podían entender, así que lo llamaron tonto.
|
| Repeat Chorus
| Repite el coro
|
| Show me the fool who abandons his life
| Muéstrame el tonto que abandona su vida
|
| To walk in the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ
| Caminar en los pasos de nuestro Señor Jesucristo
|
| Repeat Chorus | Repite el coro |
