Текст и перевод песни Aposento Alto - La Guagua

La Guagua

Al chofer le hice la parada
Como llovia mas dentro que afuera la gente se quejaba
Habia demasiada gente parada y una bachata muy alta
No se escuchaba cuando pedian parada

Por un momento me detuve el pique lo contuve
Y me dije; no Nathan eso no es nada (bueno)
Eso e' lo que tenemo' que pasar lo' pobre'
En e'ta isla tan bonita, pero tan mal governada

Me di cuenta que a mi lado habia una joven
La ven bien bonita, pero que tambien lloraba
Le pregunte que, que tenia
Me dijo que por qué en su vida me metia
Que eso a mi no me importaba

Por el pique le pense contestar
Pero me detuve a pensar que ella tenia la razon
Para que ella va a hablar conmigo
Si nisiquiera soy su amigo
Y de su problema no tengo la solucion (exactamente)

Luego de eso me dijo que se disculpaba
Que hablarme de esa forma no era su intención
Que estaba pasando por una situación muy fuerte
Y pensaba que la muerte era la única solución

Le pregunté: pero, ¿Qué puede ser tan grave?
Para que una muchacha como tu se quiera dañar
Me dijo:
Que es el efecto secundario que recibes
Cuando las cartas que te hacen reir luego te hacen llorar

Yo me quede pensativo y por el mismo motivo
Le pregunté: ¿Me puedes explicar?
Me dijo:
Que era una historia demasiado larga
Y que estaba en sabana larga y se tenia que quedar

Por su situación pense hablarle de Jesús
Pero por su condición dije
No lo va a aceptar
Me dijo:
Que fue un placer conocerme que espera volver a verme
Pero que ya se tenia que marchar

Tú no podras devolver el tiempo
Asi que aprovecha el presente

Que un simple; Cristo te ama
Puede cambiar a mucha gente

Ah na ra na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Ah, na ra. na, na, na ra na

Llego a mi casa de noche, la luz apagada
Prendo la noticia de Roberto Cavada
Acababan de hablar de una joven suicidada
En el patio de su casa y que estaba embarazada

Me quede pensando, Dios mio que no sea ella
Una muchacha tan joven, inteligente y bella
Pero al instante mi corazon quedo roto
Cuando dijeron su nombre y enseñaron su foto
Nudo en la garganta
Me quede sin habla
Por qué callas hombre necio cuando Dios te habla
Yo puede haberle predicado a ella y decirle que
Aunque no estaba en el cielo era una estrella

Que, Dios tenia un proposito con su vida
Que él es el camino, la verdad y la vida
Que lo destruido él lo puede restaurar
Que estaba embarazada habia un niño porque luchar

Que
Él esta cuando los amigos no estan
Porque él te ama y con tu vida tiene un plan
Pero es muy facil predicarle a los que siempre estan normal

Que no tienen problemas mentales ni emocionales
Pero a esos drogadicto' en la calle ¿Quién les predica?
A esos homosexuales ¿Quién le testifica?
A esos cristianos de hoy ¿Quién lo identifica?

No solo dentro de la iglesia el nombre de Dios se glorifica
Predique en lugares donde no se predica
Bueno, eso es lo que aposento alto significa
Que si falda y pantalon, critica que no edifica
Y un mundo muriendose sin jesús no le mortifica

Yo quisiera poder devolver el tiempo
Pero el día de hoy es demasiado tarde
El reino de los cielos se torna violento
Y no puede ser arrebatado por ningun cobarde

Tú no podras devolver el tiempo
Así que aprovecha el presente
Que un simple; Cristo te ama
Puede cambiar a mucha gente

Ah na ra na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Ah na ra na, na, na ra na

No te averguences del evangelio (Así es)
Porque es poder de Dios (Poder de Dios)
Y si tú no predicas, si tú no lo haces entonces
Estas piedras lo haran por ti

The Bus

I hailed the bus driver,
As it was raining more inside than outside, people were complaining.
There were too many people standing and a very loud bachata.
You couldn't hear when people were asking for a stop.

For a moment, I held back the anger, contained my frustration,
And I said to myself, "No, Nathan, this is nothing (okay)."
This is what we poor people have to go through.
On this beautiful island, but so poorly governed.

I noticed that there was a young woman beside me,
Very pretty, but she was also crying.
I asked her what was wrong.
She told me why was I sticking my nose in her life,
That it was none of my business.

I thought about answering her back out of anger,
But I stopped to think that she was right.
Why would she talk to me,
If I'm not even her friend
And I have no solution to her problem (exactly).

After that, she told me that she apologized,
That talking to me like that was not her intention.
That she was going through a very difficult situation
And thought that death was the only solution.

I asked her: "But what could be so serious?"
For a girl like you to want to hurt yourself?
She said to me:
"It's the side effect you get
When the cards that make you laugh later make you cry."

I was left thinking and for the same reason,
I asked her: "Can you explain?"
She told me:
That it was too long of a story
And that she was in Sabana Larga and had to stay.

Because of her situation I thought about talking to her about Jesus,
But because of her condition, I said,
"She won't accept it."
She told me:
That it was a pleasure meeting me and she hopes to see me again,
But that she had to go now.

You can't turn back time,
So make the most of the present.

That a simple "Christ loves you"
Can change a lot of people.

Ah na ra na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Ah, na ra, na, na, na ra na

I arrived home at night, the lights off,
Turned on the Roberto Cavada news.
They had just talked about a young woman who had committed suicide
In the backyard of her house, and that she was pregnant.

I was left thinking, "My God, I hope it's not her,"
Such a young, intelligent and beautiful girl.
But instantly my heart was broken
When they said her name and showed her picture.
Lump in my throat,
I was speechless.
Why do you remain silent, you foolish man, when God speaks to you?
I could have preached to her and told her that
Even though she wasn't in heaven, she was a star.

That God had a purpose for her life,
That He is the way, the truth, and the life.
That He can restore what is broken,
That she was pregnant, she had a child to fight for.

That
He is there when friends are not,
Because He loves you and has a plan for your life.
But it's so easy to preach to those who are always normal.

Who have no mental or emotional problems.
But to those drug addicts on the street, who preaches to them?
To those homosexuals, who testifies to them?
To those Christians of today, who identifies them?

The name of God is not only glorified inside the church.
Preach in places where it is not preached.
Well, that's what Aposento Alto means.
Than if skirt and pants, criticism that does not edify
And a world dying without Jesus does not mortify him.

I wish I could turn back time,
But today it's too late.
The kingdom of heaven is taken by force,
And it cannot be snatched away by any coward.

You can't turn back time,
So make the most of the present.
That a simple "Christ loves you"
Can change a lot of people.

Ah na ra na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Ah na ra na, na, na ra na

Do not be ashamed of the gospel (That's right)
For it is the power of God (Power of God)
And if you don't preach, if you don't do it then
These stones will do it for you.
