El Discipulo Amado
Jesed
The Beloved Disciple
Before the cross, on Calvary
The soldiers, Pharisees, and the crowd
Everyone has abandoned him
Only Mary and the beloved disciple remain
Woman, here is your son
And to the beloved disciple he said
Here is your mother
John, blessed John, the first son
After Jesus, the first son
You were with Mary before the cross
And that's why you received from Jesus
Mary as a mother
Very brave and daring and very much in love
One must be to be with Jesus nailed to the cross
And to be able to receive from Jesus, as a mother, Mary
I want to be like you, John, the beloved disciple
