Jerusalén año cero

From hand to hand the truth is passed
and in each hand it will forget
something certain and also take away
from each hand the opinion.
If we walked back on the calendar,
everything would be upside down.

Some say it's fake
and others repeat it's true,
that he entered Jerusalem during the day,
it's said his tunic was white,
that a midday bird was perched
in his eyes.

That was a time of tombs,
that was a time of flutes,
of merchants, of the Roman Legion.
It's said that the mob followed him
that in his simple word
the morning was cleansed.

The King of the Jews,
the son of man,
The Christ, The Nazarene
they called him.

Jerusalem year zero and luck changed
with what happened.
Jerusalem, year zero and Nazareth
and the village of Bethlehem.
Jerusalem year zero was the place
where it happened, or where it didn't.

He was an enemy of the Empire
and a friend of the word,
he said everything was for everyone:
it's said he taught the shepherds
to share the sheep
and to beware of the wolves.

So much teaching made noise
in the power of the temples
and they nailed him firmly to the wood.
It was said he was a magician or sorcerer,
but if history is true
it was because he made silence.

The King of the Jews,
the son of man,
The Christ, The Nazarene
they called him.
