¡BIENVENIDOS!
WARTIME PRAYERS (letra y música de Paul Simon)
Wartime Prayer
Prayers offered in times of peace are silent
conversations,
Appeals for love or love's release
In private invocations
But all that is changed now,
Gone like a memory from the day before the fires.
People hungry for the voice of God
Hear lunatics and liars
Wartime prayers, wartime prayers
In every language spoken,
For every family scattered and broken.
Because you cannot walk with the holy,
If you're just a halfway decent man.
I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind
With a genius marketing plan.
I'm trying to tap into some wisdom,
Even a little drop will do.
I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before I'm through.
Times are hard, it's a hard time
But everybody knows all about hard times.
The thing is, what are you gonna do?
Well, you cry and try to muscle through
Try to rearrange your stuff
But when the wounds are deep enough,
It's all that we can bear,
We wrap ourselves in prayer.
Because you cannot walk with the holy,
If you're just a halfway decent man.
I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind
With a genius marketing plan.
I'm trying to tap into some wisdom,
Even a little drop willdo.
I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before I'm through.
A mother murmurs in twilight sleep
And draws her babies closer.
With hush-a-byes for sleepy eyes,
And kisses on the shoulder.
To drive away despair
She says a wartime prayer.
Appeals for love or love's release
In private invocations
But all that is changed now,
Gone like a memory from the day before the fires.
People hungry for the voice of God
Hear lunatics and liars
Wartime prayers, wartime prayers
In every language spoken,
For every family scattered and broken.
Because you cannot walk with the holy,
If you're just a halfway decent man.
I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind
With a genius marketing plan.
I'm trying to tap into some wisdom,
Even a little drop will do.
I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before I'm through.
Times are hard, it's a hard time
But everybody knows all about hard times.
The thing is, what are you gonna do?
Well, you cry and try to muscle through
Try to rearrange your stuff
But when the wounds are deep enough,
It's all that we can bear,
We wrap ourselves in prayer.
Because you cannot walk with the holy,
If you're just a halfway decent man.
I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind
With a genius marketing plan.
I'm trying to tap into some wisdom,
Even a little drop willdo.
I want to rid my heart of envy
And cleanse my soul of rage
Before I'm through.
A mother murmurs in twilight sleep
And draws her babies closer.
With hush-a-byes for sleepy eyes,
And kisses on the shoulder.
To drive away despair
She says a wartime prayer.
Oración en tiempo de
guerra:
Las oraciones ofrecidas en tiempos de paz son conversaciones silenciosas,
Apelaciones para el amor o la liberación del amor
En invocaciones particulares
Pero todo eso ha cambiado ahora,
Atrás han quedado como un recuerdo de un día antes de los incendios.
La gente tiene hambre de la voz de Dios
Escucha locos y mentirosos
Oraciones, plegarias en tiempos de guerra en tiempos de guerra
En todos los idiomas hablados,
Para cada familia destrozada y dispersa.
Porque no se puede andar como un santo,
Si no sos más que un hombre medianamente decente.
No pretendo ser un genio
Con un plan genial.
Estoy tratando de aprovechar algo de sabiduría, EST
Incluso una pequeña gota es suficiente.
Quiero liberar mi corazón de envidia
Y limpiar mi alma de rabia
Antes de que termine.
Los tiempos son difíciles, es muy difícil
Pero todo el mundo sabe acerca de
los tiempos duros.
La cosa es, ¿qué vas a hacer?
Bueno, llorar y tratar de superarlo
Intentar reorganizar tus cosas
Sin embargo, cuando las heridas son lo suficientemente profundas,
Ya no lo que podemos soportar,
Nos envuelve la oración.
EST
Unos murmullos de madre en el sueño de
madrugada
que siente a sus bebés más cerca.
Con un beso de buenas noches para los ojos soñolientos,
Y un beso en el hombro.
Para alejar la desesperación
Ella dice una oración en tiempos de guerra.
