Canto para después de la comunión

Song for after communion

If we ate from the same bread
why are we separated,
there's no answer to my question
that's why I'm crying.

Also the wine present
should bring the union
of men on earth
but there's only lack of love.

Christ, please come down
to see your black flock
the cold I feel now
is stronger than winter.

For some it's very easy
to buy heaven with money,
they give alms on Sunday
and save themselves from hell.

But allow me, Christ,
listen to this lonely verse:
the earth is already a hell,
the sea has run out of waves
your body is not in the temple,
they've already killed the dove.

*In the 1977 version the chorus responds: disunion.
**1977 version: Allow me, Jesus Christ
