Decreto Papal
Ricardo Aguirre
Papal Decree
I don't want to blaspheme
My God, I swear to you
My love for you is so pure
Like the transparent to the crystal
But in my faith is revealed
The devotion I profess
I don't want to hurt you for that
Like any sinner
How is it possible that the pope
Takes away the sanctity
From those whom society
Has revered with such faith
And left without a patron saint
Parishes in the city
Saint Barbara, how sad
I felt when I heard
In the new liturgical calendar
Your exalted name does not exist
And also rejected
Saint Isidore the Laborer
Leaving the peasantry
In deep sorrow
How is it possible that the pope
Takes away the sanctity
From those whom society
Has revered with such faith
And left without a patron saint
Parishes in the city
And I also didn't like
That papal decree
Leaving Tachira
Without a name in its capital
I can't understand
What has happened in the church
Reforms everywhere
And I still don't understand
How is it possible that the pope
Takes away the sanctity
From those whom society
Has revered with such faith
And left without a patron saint
Parishes in the city
With the love I cherish
And deep reverence
And with all my conscience
I dare to say now
If they take away from the Zulian
Their Virgin of Chiquinquirá
Surely there will be
Protest in the Vatican
How is it possible that the pope
Takes away the sanctity
From those whom society
Has revered with such faith
And left without a patron saint
Parishes in the city
