Jesús Nazareno (Eli Eli Eli Lama Sabactani)

Jesus of Nazareth, nailed to the cross
A veil of blood covered his eyes
A simple face like a withered pallor
Crown of thorns, given by the people

With a scarlet cloak and carvings in his hands
Soldiers whip Christ Jesus
King of the Jews!, shouted the crowd
They bend their knees mocking Him

And crucified He, divine teacher
They gave Him vinegar with gall to drink
Soldiers divide the holy garments
And cast lots for His cloak

Eli, Eli, Eli lama sabactani
Cried the sublime divine Jesus
The great redeemer exclaimed again
With powerful forces, He gave His Spirit

Eli, Eli, Eli lama sabactani
Cried the sublime divine Jesus
The great redeemer exclaimed again
With powerful forces, He gave His Spirit
