Cómo se adora a Dios
Alfredo Zitarrosa
How to adore God
(Song)
Let's not adore God like expelled
traffickers from the temple,
with empty words devoid of meaning
and without the deep faith
that clarifies the mind.
God is adored in the chisel of Phidias,
who admires the universe,
with the immortal brush of Michelangelo,
with the sublime notes of Rossini,
with the songs of Homer.
God is adored with head held high
in the midst of battle,
disregarding the wrath of the Proterno,
and sinking tyrants into the dust,
with their execrable host.
Let's not adore God like expelled
traffickers from the temple,
with empty words devoid of meaning
and without the deep faith
that clarifies the mind.
