Текст и перевод песни Alex Zurdo - El Semaforo

El Semaforo

El semaforo está en rojo, el trafico está pesado
Son las cinco de la tarde, ruta de lo acostumbrado
Voy camino a casa, luego de un dia largo y cansado
Tengo música de fondo y me mantiene relajado
Entre carros o mentir y mucho ruido
Veo alguien que camina con su rostro entristesido
Tenía un recipiente, que contenía un par de monedas
Y una frase repetida brother dame lo que puedas
Allí siempre se pasaba por la tarde y mañana
Unos coperavan y otros le cerraban la ventana
Y si alguien le hablaba era en forma de prejuicio
No le daban pa' su hambre, pensaban que era pal' vicio
Hoy le vi agotado, no podia más, estaba exhausto,
Da un suspiro y al momento se dirije hacia mi auto
Un carton que me decia hace tiempo que no ceno
Por favor dame la mano no soy malo, yo soy bueno
Además de unas monedas
Va arrastrando unas cadenas
Dolor una condena que consuela por sus venas
Vacío que no llena, al contrario lo envenena
Recuerdo del pasado, esperanza pa' sus venas
Cuando le brinde la ayuda para saciar su barriga
Con los ojos muy aguados, dijo que Dios te bendiga
Da la vuelta con su cara triste, medio avergonzado
Yo sentía que queria hablarme, que no habias terminado
Cuando ya me da la espalda dije tambien te bendigo
Pero te hago una pregunta ¿Dime que paso contigo?
Respiro profundo, y regreso... para entoces contarme
Y me dice porfavor ahora no vaya a juzgarme
Porque ya son muchos los que me han venido con sermones
Como tú, yo soy humano y tome malas decisiones
Yo también tenía familia, yo también tenía un hogar
Tengo un hijo que a la cara no me quiere ni mirar
Y a su madre en ese entonces no la supe valorar
Hice algo incorrecto y no me quieren perdonar
Pero lo más que me duele, recuerdo aquel dia 2
Cuando decidí alejarme completamente de Dios
Además de unas monedas
Va arrastrando unas cadenas
Dolor una condena, que consuela por sus venas
Vacío que no llena, al contrario lo envenena
Recuerdo del pasado, esperanza pa' sus venas
El semaforo cambió y ya tenia que marcharme
Hice una oración por él, con la intención de restaurarle
Declarando que para su vida, iba a salir el sol
Que Dios nunca se ha olvidado, siempre ha tenido el control
Me confieza porque sorprendidamente
Me miraba
Es que al verme de momento a su hijo le recordaba
Me menciona que a pesar de todo
Aún anhelaba volver a ser aquel hombre
Que a su familia cuidaba
Volver a ser aquel hombre en el que siempre confiaban
Pero sentía temor de que ellos lo despreciaran
Y le dije, ya no dudes, no lo creas imposible
Tú bien sabes que para el que cree, TODO lo es posible
Que para su vida nuevamente iba a salir la luz
Que buscara a su familia, en el nombre de Jesus
Que le agradeciera porque todavía estaba vivo
Termino diciendo gracias, lo recibo
Además de unas monedas
Va arrastrando unas cadenas
Dolor una condena que consuela por sus venas
Vacío que no llena, al contrario lo envenena
Recuerdo del pasado, esperanza pa' sus venas
Además de unas monedas
Va arrastrando unas cadenas
Dolor una condena que consuela por sus venas
Vacío que no llena, al contrario lo envenena
Recuerdo del pasado, esperanza pa' sus venas

The Traffic Light

The traffic light is red, the traffic is heavy
It's five in the afternoon, the usual route
I'm on my way home, after a long and tiring day
I have music in the background and it keeps me relaxed
Among cars, or lies, and a lot of noise
I see someone walking with a saddened face
He had a container, which contained a couple of coins
And a repeated phrase, "Brother, give me what you can"
He always passed by there in the afternoon and morning
Some cooperated and others closed the window on him
And if someone spoke to him, it was in the form of prejudice
They didn't give him for his hunger, they thought it was for vice
Today I saw him exhausted, he couldn't take it anymore, he was exhausted,
He sighs and at that moment heads towards my car
A cardboard sign that said "I haven't eaten in a long time"
Please give me a hand, I'm not bad, I'm good
Besides a few coins
He is dragging some chains
Pain, a sentence that consoles through his veins
Emptiness that doesn't fill, on the contrary, it poisons him
Memory of the past, hope for his veins
When I offered him help to satisfy his hunger
With watery eyes, he said, "God bless you"
He turns around with his sad face, half ashamed
I felt like he wanted to talk to me, that you weren't finished
When he turned his back, I also said "I bless you too"
But I ask you a question, "Tell me what happened to you?"
He takes a deep breath, and returns... to tell me
And he says, "Please don't judge me now"
Because there are already many who have come to me with sermons
Like you, I am human and made bad decisions
I also had a family, I also had a home
I have a son who doesn't even want to look me in the face
And his mother at that time I didn't know how to value her
I did something wrong and they don't want to forgive me
But what hurts me the most, I remember that day 2
When I decided to completely distance myself from God
Besides a few coins
He is dragging some chains
Pain, a sentence that consoles through his veins
Emptiness that doesn't fill, on the contrary, it poisons him
Memory of the past, hope for his veins
The traffic light changed and I had to leave
I made a prayer for him, with the intention of restoring him
Declaring that for his life, the sun would rise
That God has never forgotten, He has always had control
He confesses to me because surprisingly
He was looking at me
It is that when he saw me, he was reminded of his son
He mentions to me that despite everything
He still longed to be that man again
That took care of his family
To be that man again that they always trusted
But he was afraid that they would despise him
And I said, "Don't hesitate anymore, don't think it's impossible"
You well know that for the one who believes, EVERYTHING is possible
That for his life the light would rise again
That he should seek his family, in the name of Jesus
That he should thank Him because he was still alive
He finishes by saying "Thank you, I receive it"
Besides a few coins
He is dragging some chains
Pain, a sentence that consoles through his veins
Emptiness that doesn't fill, on the contrary, it poisons him
Memory of the past, hope for his veins
Besides a few coins
He is dragging some chains
Pain, a sentence that consoles through his veins
Emptiness that doesn't fill, on the contrary, it poisons him
Memory of the past, hope for his veins
