Le han visto pasar por las calle, vivir las mañanas de un trabajador
They've seen him walking in the streets, living the mornings of a worker
Nadie sabe quie es, ni de donde salio
Nobody knows who he is, or where he came from
Pero la gente que vive en barrio no le conoce
But the people who live in the neighborhood don't know him
El barrio le ve le ve indiferente cruzar sus calles
The neighborhood sees him, indifferently crossing its streets
Le han visto cortar la madera, hacer una silla con gesto de amor
They've seen him cutting wood, making a chair with a gesture of love
Le han visto trabajar,
They've seen him working,
Alguien le vio llorar

Pero la gente que vive en el barrio no le conoce
But the people who live in the neighborhood don't know him
Mas el... el es manso y humilde

En su bondad

Y... en su ser se refleja su verdad el... es la libertad
And... his being reflects his truth he... is freedom
La gente que vive en el barrio

El sabe de dias ayuno, de largas vijilias pobresas y dolor
He knows of days of fasting, of long poor vigils and pain
El sabe predicar y al enfermo sanar

Pero la gente le ve indiferente y no le atiende

La gente que vive en barrio ya no le ha visto pasar

Salio una mañana temprano envuelto en su manto
He left one morning early wrapped in his cloak
Camino al jordan
On the way to the Jordan River
Y del barrio se fue yyyyy ya se marcho
And he left the neighborhood and now he's gone
Alguno dijeron que ese hombre no era un carpintero era el hijo de dios
Some said that that man was not a carpenter, he was the son of God
Era el hijo de dios
He was the son of God
Es el hijo de dios
He is the son of God
