lyrics

Written by L. Gieco

Solo le pido a Dios
Que el dolor no me sea indiferente
Que la reseca muerte no me encuentre
Vacio y solo sin haber echo lo suficiente

Solo le pido a Dios
Que lo injusto no me sea indiferente
Que no me abofeteen la otra mejia
Despues que una garra me arane esta frente

Solo le pido a Dios
Que la guerra no me sea indiferente
Es un monstro grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente
Es un monstro grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente

Solo le pido a Dios
Que el engano no me sea indiferente
Si un traidor puede mas que unos quantos
Que esos quantos no lo olviden facilmente

Solo le pido a Dios
Que el futuro no me sea indiferente
Deshauciado esta el que tiene que marchar
A vivir una cultura diferente

>>> Translation: I Only Ask of God - The lyrics are intended to shake people of their apathy. A summary translation of the sentiment of this song could be: I only ask of God that I not be indifferent to the pain, the injustice, the war, and the deception. I only ask of God that I not be indifferent to the future for hopeless is he who must march to live in a foreign land.

I only ask of God
that I am not indifferent to the pain,
that the dry death won’t find me
empty and alone, without having done anything

I only ask of God
that i won’t be indifferent to the injustice
that they won’t slap my other cheek,
after a claw (or talon) has scratched this destiny (luck) of mine

I only ask of God
that i am not indifferent to the battle,
it’s a big monster with a heavy step
all the poor innocence of the people.

I only ask of God
that i am not indifferent to deceit,
if a traitor can do more than a bunch of people,
then let not those people forget him easily.

I only ask of God
that I am not indifferent to the future,
hopeless is he who has to go away
to live a different culture.

I only ask of God
that i am not indifferent to the battle,
it’s a big monster with a heavy step
all the poor innocence of the people.

Vanessa Lively observes how strongly music connects people. Her music is an expression of that experience, filled with representative themes: “Community, living in solidarity with those around you. Feeling what other people’s struggles and joys are. Her latest album Uncovering Stones truly shows how she feels those connections deeply – and when you listen, you will, too. ... more
