Himno Del Cristiano

The song 'Himno Del Cristiano' by Duo Esperanza is a powerful call to perseverance and faith for Christians. The lyrics serve as a battle cry, encouraging believers to continue their spiritual journey despite the challenges they face. The repeated phrase 'Cristiano adelante' which translates to 'Christian, go forward,' emphasizes the need for steadfastness and progress in the Christian faith. The song acknowledges the ongoing struggle between good and evil, symbolized by the 'lucha' or fight that 'has not yet ended.'

The metaphor of Christians as soldiers of Christ is prevalent throughout the song, suggesting that believers are engaged in a spiritual battle. The 'polvo de tierra enemiga' or 'dust of enemy land' represents the trials and tribulations of the world that can weigh down on one's spirit. The call to 'sacúdete el polvo,' or 'shake off the dust,' is an encouragement to reject the influence of the 'anticristo' or forces opposed to Christ's teachings. The 'arma' or weapon mentioned in the song is the 'palabra hecha espada,' which means 'word made sword,' symbolizing the Bible or the word of God as a tool for overcoming spiritual obstacles and 'atraviesas la roca de duros corazones,' or 'piercing the rock of hard hearts.'

The song also offers comfort to those who are weary from the fight, with lines like 'Ven, bebe agua' ('Come, drink water') and acknowledging that the listener may be 'cansado' (tired) and 'golpeado' (struck), but not 'derrotado' (defeated). The ultimate victory is foreshadowed with the promise that the battle will be won and the 'rey' (king), referring to Jesus Christ, will appear in heaven. 'Himno Del Cristiano' is not just a song of encouragement but also a reminder of the promise of triumph for those who remain faithful to their beliefs.
