Misa De Cuerpo Presente
Banda Movil
Mass of the Present Body
MASS OF THE PRESENT BODY
THEY ARE PRAYING IN THE CHURCH
TO THE ONE WHO WAS KILLED FROM BEHIND
WHO ALWAYS KILLED IN SELF-DEFENSE
HE DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN TO HIS MOTHER
WHEN SHE SAID DON'T GO
THEY RESPECTED YOUR FOREHEAD
BUT THEY LOOK FOR YOUR BACK
HE WAS ALREADY LYING ON THE GROUND
ON THAT ROAD TO THE DANCE
HE FELL IN THE WORST AMBUSH
AS HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM
WHEN THEY TOOK THE BODY
HIS MOTHER SAID IMMEDIATELY
LEAVE ME ALONE WITH MY SON
AND THEN SHE CLOSED THE DOOR FROM INSIDE
THEY SAY THOSE WHO LOOKED IN
THAT HIS MOTHER VERY BRAVE
BEAT THE BODY
SAYING HE WAS DISOBEDIENT
THEY ALSO SAY THAT THE EYES
OF THAT LIFELESS BODY
SHED THICK TEARS
AS IF HE WERE ALIVE
THEY SAY THAT WITH HIS GUN
HE MADE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS MANY TIMES
THEN HE FILLED IT WITH BLOOD
AND SWORE TO AVENGE HIS DEATH
HE WAS RIGHTLY BRAVE
IN THAT HE INHERITED FROM HIS MOTHER
SHE DIDN'T SHED A TEAR
SHE JUST STARTED PRAYING TO HIM.
