《El Padre Antonio (Y El Monaguillo Andres)》歌词

[00:08:03] Father Antonio Texeira came from Spain

[00:08:03] Searching for new promises in this land.

[00:08:03] He got to the jungle without any hope of becoming a bishop

[00:08:03] and in spite of the heat and the mosquitoes he talked about Christ.

[00:08:03] The priest didn’t do well at the Vatican

[00:08:03] among papers and air conditioned dreams,

[00:08:03] so he went to a small town in the middle of nowhere to give his weekly sermon

[00:08:03] for those in search for salvation.

[00:08:03] Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh...

[00:08:03] Andrés Eloy Pérez is 10 years - old

[00:08:03] He attends “Simon Bolívar “ elementary school

[00:08:03] He still cannot recite the Holy Creed properly

[00:08:03] he loves the river, playing soccer and playing hooky

[00:08:03] He’s been given the task of altar boy at the Church

[00:08:03] with the hope that this connection will “fix him”

[00:08:03] and his family is very proud because they also believe

[00:08:03] that once you have one connected to God, by default you connect them as well.

[00:08:03] Bells are tolling one, two, three,

[00:08:03] of Father Antonio and his altar boy Andrés

[00:08:03] Bells are tolling again, oh oh oh,

[00:08:03] of Father Antonio and his altar boy Andrés... Andrés.

[00:08:03] The Priest condemns violence,

[00:08:03] He knows by experience that is not a solution,

[00:08:03] He speaks to them of love and justice,

[00:08:03] the news of God shining through his sermon

[00:08:03] War found the priest one Sunday, in mass

[00:08:03] handing out communion with his sleeves rolled up

[00:08:03] Half way through the Lord’s Prayer the killer came in

[00:08:03] and without confessing his guilt fired at him

[00:08:03] Antonio fell holy bread in hand and without knowing why

[00:08:03] Andrés died at his side without ever meeting Pelé

[00:08:03] and between the screams and the astonishment, agonizing

[00:08:03] was the wooden Christ nailed to the wall.

[00:08:03] and no one ever knew who the criminal was

[00:08:03] who killed Padre Antonio and his altar boy Andrés

[00:08:03] But the bells still ring, one, two, three

[00:08:03] for Father Antonio and his altar boy, Andrés

[00:08:03] Chorus:

[00:08:03] The bells are tolling

[00:08:03] Soneos:

[00:08:03] and Earth is going to shake

[00:08:03] For our America

[00:08:03] Oh Virgin Lady

[00:08:03] Who will save us now?

[00:08:03] Central American

[00:08:03] Listen to them calling

[00:08:03] For my sister land

[00:08:03] People waking up

[00:08:03] For Antonio and Andrés

[00:08:03] Puente

[00:08:03] Hear it again

[00:08:03] People are celebrating

[00:08:03] On our new way

[00:08:03] Central American

[00:08:03] Let’s go, their calling us

[00:08:03] To celebrate

[00:08:03] Our identity

[00:08:03] Because people united

[00:08:03] Will never be defeated

[00:08:03] For a good priest

[00:08:03] Arnulfo Romero

[00:08:03] Of liberty

[00:08:03] For our America
