Paroles et traduction Violeta Parra - Que Dirá el Sto Padre

Que Dirá el Sto Padre

Miren cómo nos hablan
De libertad
Cuando de ella nos privan
En realidad

Miren cómo pregonan
Tranquilidad
Cuando nos atormenta
La autoridad

¿Qué dirá el santo padre
Que vive en Roma?
Que le están degollando
A su paloma

Miren cómo nos hablan
Del paraíso
Cuando nos llueven penas
Como granizo

Miren el entusiasmo
Con la sentencia
Sabiendo que mataban
A la inocencia

¿Qué dirá el santo padre
Que vive en Roma?
Que le están degollando
A su paloma

El que oficia la muerte
Como un verdugo
Tranquilo está tomando
Su desayuno

Con esto se pusieron
La soga al cuello
El quinto mandamiento
No tiene sello

¿Qué dirá el santo padre
Que vive en Roma?
Que le están degollando
A su paloma

Mientras más injusticias
Señor fiscal
Más fuerzas tiene mi alma
Para cantar

Lindo segar el trigo
En el sembrao
Regado con tu sangre
Julián Grimau

¿Qué dirá el santo padre
Que vive en Roma?
Que le están degollando
Ya su paloma

What Will the Holy Father Say

Look how they talk to us
Of freedom
When they deprive us of it
In reality

Look how they preach
Tranquility
When we are tormented
By the authorities

What will the Holy Father say
Who lives in Rome?
That they are slitting the throat of
His dove

Look how they talk to us
Of paradise
When sorrows rain down on us
Like hail

Look at their enthusiasm
For the sentence
Knowing that they were killing
Innocence

What will the Holy Father say
Who lives in Rome?
That they are slitting the throat of
His dove

He who officiates the death
Like an executioner
Sits calmly eating
His breakfast

With this they have put
The noose around their neck
The fifth commandment
Has no seal

What will the Holy Father say
Who lives in Rome?
That they are slitting the throat of
His dove

The more injustice there is
Sir Prosecutor
The more strength my soul has
To sing

It is beautiful to reap the wheat
In the field
Watered with your blood
Julián Grimau

What will the Holy Father say
Who lives in Rome?
That they are slitting the throat of
His dove already
