Muerte de Judas
Camilo Sesto
Death of Judas
Judas, Caifas, Annas, and Chorus
God, I have seen him
Half dead he is
Just thinking about it makes me want to cry
The punishment was harsh, he will bleed out
And now everyone will blame me
I don't think you understand it was my duty
That I didn't know he was going to suffer
So much suffering, believing, duty
Enough excuses, don't justify yourself
Because your conscience will haunt you
Only for revenge you handed him over to us
The people hate him, everything went well
For a betrayal, just for that
You will be remembered, you saved Israel
It was a good price for just one prisoner
You have freed yourself and ended him
Christ, you don't hear me
But what I did was your will
Christ, all my people
Because of your death they will despise me
I am splattered with innocent blood
Above the mud, I will be dragged
I am splattered with innocent blood
Now history will condemn me
I still love him
And I won't be able to forget him
I know he is just a man
He is not a king
I can't understand
If he is like me
I fear when he is dead
He will abandon me
Will he love me too or forget me?
My God
Why did you choose me?
Why did you choose me?
For your stupid crime
My mind doubts
My soul is in darkness
My God
I don't know and won't know
Why you chose me
Kill me
Kill me, kill me
Why me?
Why me?
Kill me
Kill me, kill me
Kill me
Poor Judas
Goodbye Judas
