El Cristo de Los Faroles
Antonio Molina
The Christ of the Lanterns
When night falls in the square
And the lanterns light up at dawn
To pray before the Christ
Death arrives step by step
My loves
The Christ of the lanterns
Will unite us before me
Together for life
What God unites up there
No one can separate
Before the image of Christ
One afternoon I went to ask
And he told me very softly,
And he told me very softly,
That you will have a child
Exactly like me
The Christ of the lanterns
Is my solace
And when I have a sorrow
I raise my eyes to the sky
And my sorrow calms
And when I have a sorrow
I raise my eyes to the sky
And my sorrow calms
And my sorrow is comforted
The Christ of the lanterns
