Da Cepa Brotou a Rama
Músicas Católicas
From the Stem Sprouted the Branch
From the stem sprouted the branch
From the branch sprouted the flower
From the flower was born Maria
From Maria, the Savior
The spirit of God will rest upon him
Of knowledge, of understanding, this spirit will be
Of counsel and strength, of science and fear
He will find his joy in the fear of his Lord
It will not be by the illusion of sight, of hearing
That He will judge men, as is customary
But the poor of this Earth He will judge with justice
And the rights of the weak He will defend
The word from His mouth will strike the violent
And the breath from His lips will kill the greedy
Justice is the belt that surrounds His waist
And the cloak of loyalty is His garment
On this day, on this day, the incredible, true
Thing that has never been seen: Wolf living with lamb
Eating from the same pasture, tiger, ox, donkey, and lion
Guided by a child, they will fraternize
