El Peregrino de Emaús
Canciones Religiosas
The Pilgrim to Emmaus
What were you talking about?
You told me, good friend
And I stopped in amazement
On the side of the road
Don't you know what's happened
Yesterday in Jerusalem?
Of Jesus of Nazareth
Whom they nailed to a cross
That's why I turn in sorrow
To my village of Emmaus
Along the road to Emmaus
A pilgrim was with me
I didn't know him when walking
Now yes, in the breaking of bread
It's been three days since he died
And my hope ends
They say that some women
They went to the tomb at dawn
I was told that some others
Today they also searched there
But my trust is gone
They didn't find Jesus
That's why I become sad
To my village of Emmaus
Along the road to Emmaus
A pilgrim was with me
I didn't know him when walking
Now yes, in the breaking of bread
Oh late hearts
that you ignore the prophets
In the law it was already announced
That the Messiah suffered
And to reach his glory
I would choose affliction
In the afternoon of that day
I felt that with Jesus
Our heart was burning
In sight of Emmaus
Along the road to Emmaus
A pilgrim was with me
I didn't know him when walking
Now yes, in the breaking of bread
He made a sign to continue
Beyond our village
And the light of the setting sun
He seemed to die
Stay, stranger
Come to the table and bless
That in the flash of your light
In the blessing of bread
my eyes will know
To the friend of Emmaus
Along the road to Emmaus
A pilgrim was with me
I didn't know him when walking
Now yes, in the breaking of bread
