Text Translation | Dolor y lágrimas, hambre y gran desolación azotan a la humanidad la gente sufre sin razón. Soñé con una flor que nació del corazón para buscar un mundo en paz y a cada hombre ver igual. Dale la mano a tu hermano, dale la mano a tu hermano, dale la mano a tu hermano, dale la mano a tu hermano, dale la mano a tu hermano, dale la mano a tu hermano, dale la mano a tu hermano, Dale la mano a tu hermano ¡YA! Quiero decirle al mundo que toda injusticia se debe acabar es demasiado inhumano negarle a tu hermano el agua y el pan Mira que tanto egoísmo se vuelve cinismo de gran mezquindad cuando tu cuerpo sucumba verás que a la tumba nada has de llevar. Porque a pesar de la ciencia falta mucha inteligencia no hay que esperar que un esquema resuelva el problema de la humanidad comparte con alegría tu riqueza cada día la del espíritu, la de tu corazón y también lo material. Deja de hacer del dinero único dios verdadero y cuando vaya tu hermano tomando tu mano hacia la libertad cuídalo como a ti mismo con mucha fe y optimismo ¡juntos haremos unidos un mundo más justo de luz y amistad! Pues lo que importa es la gente aunque sea muy diferente no hay diferencias que valgan para separarnos o discriminar y aunque sea joven o viejo siempre un hermano es tu espejo ¡juntos haremos unidos un mundo más justo de amor y de paz! Para que acaben las guerras y sobre la Tierra florezca la paz deja las armas de fuego porque no es un juego tirar a matar y cuando todos los “ismos” comprendan que al mismo Dios van a rezar abre los ojos hermano y el género humano hallará la verdad. Dale la mano a tu hermano ¡Ya! / Pain and tears, hunger and great devastation ravage humanity, people suffer senselessly. I dreamt of a flower that blossomed from the heart in search of a peaceful world where everyone is treated equally. Give your brother a hand, give your brother a hand, give your brother a hand, give your brother a hand, give your brother a hand, give your brother a hand, give your brother a hand, Give your brother a hand, right now! I want to tell the world that all injustice must end It’s too heartless to deny your brother water and bread Look at all the selfishness that turns cynicism into great stinginess When your body dies, you will take nothing with you to the grave. For despite all the science, what is really lacking is intelligence You can’t expect a diagram to solve all the problems of humanity Share your wealth gladly each day That of the spirit, the heart, as well as material riches. Stop allowing money to be your one true god And when your brother takes your hand and together you walk towards freedom Care for him as you would care for yourself, with lots of faith and optimism Together we will create a more just world of friendship and light! Though our differences may be great, people are what matters the most No differences are deserving of segregation or discrimination Whether young or old, your brother is your mirror image Together we will create a more just world of love and peace! Shooting to kill is not a game, so put down your guns May all wars may end and peace spread throughout the Earth When all the “isms” understand that they pray to the same God Then open your eyes, brother, and the human race will discover the truth. Give your brother a hand, right now! |
