El Hombre de Negro

I go in black and you wonder why,
because I don't wear other colors I know very well
that my appearance can seem dark and gray
I have reasons to dress like this.

I wear black for the poor and also
for the defeated ones put against the wall.
I wear it for the prisoner,
who pays the salary of
a law made to measure the power.

I wear black for those who never
paid attention to Christ when he proclaimed
that there is a path of Love and Mercy
I speak clearly, you will understand me.

I go in black for the unjust loneliness
of the elderly and those who will end up
cold as stones after riding
while someone gets rich on their sofa.

I go in black for the young man who will fall
in war believing he has behind him,
God and his mother on his side,
and it's not true.
it's the flesh of a general's game.

I know there are things that will never be right
but nothing is impossible look at me,
I sing this song
what can you do?
Look inside and bear your cross.

I want to show a rainbow when I sing
but darkness falls on my back
and until the Light truly shines,
you will see me in black, in black.
