El Peregrino

I am a pilgrim
Who is in search of God
I have been told that He has hidden
Behind His voice

I climbed the mountain
And asked the condor
He told me that it has been a while
Since he no longer flies with Him

But if God is so great
Where could He have hidden
Or perhaps He has left
And does not want to return

I have traveled through forests
And also through meadows
Little animals of the field
Tell me where He is

I have sailed the rivers
And crossed seven seas
Sirens, stop your song
And tell me where He is

If God has left
Why did we let Him go?
Let's not be so foolish
How are we going to live?

Maybe playing at war
Or reaping ruin
We will be men without land
Slaves until the end

On a full moon night
I asked a star
It told me that it has been a while
Since He no longer dines with Him

But if God is so great
Where could He have hidden
Or perhaps He has left
Took His cloak and left

And when the sun was setting
In my sad heart
A child who was looking at me
Smiled and approached

He said, 'Sir, do not cry
God has not left yet
I have Him well guarded
In my heart

If you want to know Him
You have to be like me
Although you see me so small
God hides in my soul'
