EL APARECIDOTHE APPARITION
  
Abre sendas por los cerros,He opens a path in the mountains
deja su huella en el viento,leaves his footsteps in the wind,
el águila le da el vuelothe eagle gives him wings
y lo cobija el silencio.and silence protects him.
  
Nunca se quejó del frìo,Never has he complained of the cold
nunca se quejó del sueño;never he has complained of sleep
el pobre siente su pasoThe poor hear his steps
y lo sigue como unn ciego.and follow him like blind men.
  
Córrele, córrele, córrelaRun, run, run
por aquí,por allí,por allá,here, there, here
córrele, córrele, córrelarun, run, run
¡córrele, que te van a matar!run or they will kill you.
  
Su cabeza es rematadaOver his head circle,
por cuervos con garras de oro,ravens with talons of gold
¡cómo lo ha crucificadoHow he has been crucified
la furia del poderoso!by the fury of the powerful.
  
Hijo de la rebeldía,Son of rebellion
lo siguen veinte y màs veinte;he is pursued by battalions.
porque regala su vidaBecause he offers life
ellos le quieren dar muerte.they want his death.
  
Córrele, córrele, córrelaRun, run, run
por aquí,por allí, por allá,here, there, here
córrele, córrele, córrelarun, run, run
¡córrele, que te van a matar!run or they will kill you.
