O Profeta
Coral Palestrina
The Prophet
Before you were formed in your mother's womb
Before you were born, I knew you and consecrated you
To be my prophet among the nations I have chosen you
Wherever I send you, you will go and what I command you will proclaim!
I have to scream, I have to risk
Woe to me if I don't!
How to escape from you how to shut up
If your voice burns in my chest?
I have to walk, I have to fight
Woe to me if I don't!
How to escape from you, how to remain silent
If your voice burns in my chest?
Don't be afraid to take risks, because I will be with you
Do not be afraid to announce me in your mouth I will speak
I give you my people, go uproot and tear down
To build you will destroy and plant!
Leave your brothers, leave your father and your mother
Leave your home, because the earth is screaming
Bring nothing with you, because I will be by your side
It's time to fight, because my people are suffering
