Getsemaní (Oración del Huerto)
Camilo Sesto
Gethsemane (Garden Prayer)
I want to say
If I can ask
That you take away this cup from me
I no longer desire its bitterness
Now it burns and I have changed
And I don't know why I started
I had faith
When I began
Now I am sad and tired
My three-year journey
Seems like thirty
And what more can a man do?
If I have to die
Let everything you want from me be fulfilled
Let them hate me, let them nail me to His cross
I want to see, I want to see, my God
I want to see, I want to see, my God
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
If I have to die
Tell me if it's because I have to be better than I was
Tell me if my life must be fulfilled with death
I want to see, I want to see, my God
I want to see, I want to see, my God
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
By dying, what will I achieve?
By dying, what will I achieve?
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
Why do I have to die?
Why?
Tell me why you want me to be nailed to His cross
Show me the reason, give me a little of Your light
Say that Your desire is not in vain and I will die
You taught me how, when, but not why
Very well, I will die
But, but, please
When I die, when I die, look at me
Please, look at my death
And I had faith
When I began
Now I am sad and tired
My three years are already thousands
Why then
Am I afraid that everything will end?
God, I did not start
It was Your will
Give me the cup of bitterness
Nail, whip, break, kill
But do it soon, do it soon
Or I will regret
