My father - he told me,Mi padre - me dijo,
Be careful son - when you're on the run.Ten cuidado hijo - cuando estás en fuga.
He told me - it's not easy,Me dijo - no es fácil,
When he tried to teach me right from wrong.Cuando intentaba enseñarme lo correcto de lo incorrecto.
He said maybe - you'll be wondering,Dijo que tal vez - te estarás preguntando,
About strange things going on sometimes,Sobre cosas extrañas que suceden a veces,
But whatever will happen - have confidence,Pero pase lo que pase - ten confianza,
And the sun'll shine for you -ooooohhhh.Y el sol brillará para ti - ooooohhhh.
That preacher - called jesus,Ese predicador - llamado Jesús,
To heal the world - is all he wants,Para sanar al mundo - es todo lo que quiere,
He's speaking to people,Está hablando a la gente,
About god's grace, love and tenderness.Sobre la gracia de Dios, el amor y la ternura.
But suddenly state changes,Pero de repente cambia el estado,
He finds himself carrying all the world,Se encuentra cargando todo el mundo,
And as nails run through his limbs - to god he cries,Y mientras los clavos atraviesan sus extremidades - a Dios clama,
And the sun doesn't shine - ooooohhhh.Y el sol no brilla - ooooohhhh.
And it's raining - it's raining - raining.Y está lloviendo - está lloviendo - lloviendo.
And it's raining - it's raining - raining.Y está lloviendo - está lloviendo - lloviendo.
That brave one - he's a black man,Ese valiente - es un hombre negro,
He's standing up for equality,Está luchando por la igualdad,
Between negroes and the white men,Entre negros y hombres blancos,
He's dreaming of life in harmonie.Sueña con una vida en armonía.
But that day - 4th of april,Pero ese día - 4 de abril,
A shot rings out - and strikes him down.Un disparo resuena - y lo derriba.
The world falls into darkness - and as he dies,El mundo cae en la oscuridad - y mientras muere,
The sun doesn't shine - ooooohhhh.El sol no brilla - ooooohhhh.
And it's raining - it's raining - raining.Y está lloviendo - está lloviendo - lloviendo.
And it's raining - it's raining - raining.Y está lloviendo - está lloviendo - lloviendo.
And it's raining - it's raining - raining.Y está lloviendo - está lloviendo - lloviendo.
Uuuuuhhhh.Uuuuuhhhh.
And it's raining - it's raining - raining.Y está lloviendo - está lloviendo - lloviendo.
And it's raining - it's raining - raining.Y está lloviendo - está lloviendo - lloviendo.
And it's raining - it's raining - raining.Y está lloviendo - está lloviendo - lloviendo.
And it's raining - it's raining - rainingY está lloviendo - está lloviendo - lloviendo
(rain falls like blood from the sky).(la lluvia cae como sangre del cielo).
