Translation

Yo soy un peregrino

I am a pilgrim

Que anda en busca de Dios

Who walks in search of God

Me han dicho que se ha escondido

They have told me that He has hidden

Detrás de su voz

Behind His voice


Escalé la montaña

I climbed the mountain

Y al cóndor le pregunté

And asked the condor

Me dijo que hace bastante

He told me that quite a while ago

Que ya no vuela con el

He no longer flies with Him


Pero si Dios es tan grande

But if God is so great

Donde se pudo esconder

Where could He hide

O si quizás se ha marchado

Or perhaps He has left

Y ya no quiera volver

And does not want to return


Yo he recorrido los bosques

I have traveled through the forests

Y las praderas también

And the meadows as well

Animalitos del campo

Little animals of the field

Díganme dónde está el

Tell me where He is


Los ríos he navegado

I have sailed the rivers

Y siete mares surqué

And crossed seven seas

Sirenas dejen su canto

Mermaids, leave your song

Y digan dónde está el

And tell me where He is


Es que si Dios se ha marchado

Is it that God has left

¿Por qué lo dejamos ir?

Why did we let Him go?

No seamos tan insensatos

Let's not be so foolish

¿Cómo vamos a vivir?

How are we going to live?


Quizá jugando a la guerra

Perhaps playing at war

A cosechando la ruin

Or reaping ruin

Seremos hombres sin tierra

We will be men without land

Esclavos hasta el fin

Slaves until the end


En noche de luna llena

On a night of full moon

A una estrella pregunté

I asked a star

Me dijo que hace bastante

It told me that quite a while ago

Que ya no cena con el

He no longer dines with Him


Pero si Dios es tan grande

But if God is so great

Dónde se pudo esconder

Where could He hide

O si quizás se ha marchado

Or perhaps He has left

Tomó su capa y se fue

Took His cloak and left


Y cuando el sol se ocultaba

And when the sun was setting

En mi triste corazón

In my sad heart

Un niño que me miraba

A child who was looking at me

Se sonrió y se acercó

Smiled and approached


Me dijo señor no llore

He said, "Sir, do not cry"

Dios aún no se marchó

God has not left yet

Yo lo tengo bien guardado

I have Him well guarded

En mi corazón

In my heart


Si usted quiere conocerlo

If you want to know Him

Tiene que ser como yo

You have to be like me

Aunque me vea tan pequeño

Even if you see me so small

En mi alma se esconde Dios

God hides in my soul
