Cantata del Diablo [English translation]

In the name of the Devil and Belial,

Satan, Lucifer, Astaroth and Yahweh.

[Narrator]: Night falls, eternal fog

Light is already hiding

Barren cold, breaks and freezes

the tears of the heart.

[Narrator]: Life dreams that it is going to die

It is hard to live in fragments of fear,

Dreams of death, stay awake

Holy condemnation, act of faith

[Priest]: In the name of the only religion

We sentence you and condemn you

To the merciful1 purification

Of fire and pain.

[Priest]: In the hands of God, you must place

Your soul, your property and all your sins,

Accept Christ and commend yourself,

For soon, you'll be judged by him.

Devil on Gaia2, the Lord has sent me

Devil on Gaia, the Lord has sent me

[Azak]: I wish I were the wind so I could run from me

Let silence hush, let terror be struck dumb,

I would like to never die.

[Narrator]: I will invent a new life for myself

I will decorate my dreams,

And cover them with your kisses -he thought-

Burn my soul too!

[Priest]: Do you reject Satan, his works and his vices?

Necromance, magic and Tarot?

I am the virtue of the Church and its principles

If you do not repent, your soul will be condemned.

Today, freedom has fallen asleep and silent

Today, freedom has closed due to its passing

Today, freedom died from sorrow and melancholy

There is no freedom today, nor is God here, nor will he come

[Narrator]: I wish I were oblivion, to never remember

I wish I were the wind, to be able to caress life once more

Oh, the promise of another life together with God is so cold

For in this life, he was absent, and the stake is his coffin

[Priest]: Before dying, and before the fire does its work

Do you accept Christ, the Church and its power?

Do you renounce the God called Nature?

Gaia is only mother

To sin and terror.

Today, freedom has fallen asleep and silent

Today, freedom has closed due to its passing

Today, freedom died from sorrow and melancholy

There is no freedom today, nor is God here, nor will he come

In the name of the Devil and Belial,

Satan, Lucifer, Astaroth and Yahweh.

Gaia, Gaia.

[Azaak]: Today, life rains sorrow

Drops of despair

My tears are rivers, veins

Bleeding out my heart.

[Azaak]: The memory of a woman

Are the kisses she received

I will live in your lips

I will die in your oblivion3.

[Azaak]: Today, my tears want to commit suicide.

To snuggle up and die on your skin.

They were born dry, they are thirsty

My tears4 want to die today.

[Gaia]: Like a promissed kiss

My voice is to your soul

I am what died and what lived

I am tranquility, I am your God.

[Gaia]: Close your eyes, I will take you

Where dreams turn into songs

Life hurts, I will heal you

Sleep now and dream, my voice rocks you.

Today, my tears want to commit suicide.

To snuggle up and die on your skin.

They were born dry, they are thirsty

My tears want to die today.

[Gaia]: If your tears want to commit suicide

Save them, for you will cry

You will cry oceans of peace

Sleep now! There's no more pain!

In the name of freedom

Faith in oneself and peace

Burn the flags, say no to religion!

Let God be your song

Composed by your heart

And let your country be wherever your feet take you

Devil on Gaia, the Lord has sent me

Devil on Gaia, the Lord has sent me

The Lord has sent me

The Lord has sent me

Satan has sent me

Gaia

[Gaia]: Now I'm finally air

My curse will fall

The end of this Church will come very soon

My voice will awaken

Today, freedom has fallen asleep and silent

Today, freedom has closed due to its passing

Today, freedom died from sorrow and melancholy

There is no freedom today, nor is God here, nor will he come

Today, freedom has fallen asleep and silent

There is no freedom today, God is not here today

God is not here today, God is not here nor will he come!!!

Our father, of us all

Of the poor, of the homeless

Of the marginalized and those without protection

Of the disowned and the owners of misery,

Of your followers, and those who no longer believe5 in you

Come down from Heaven, for Hell is here,

Leave your throne, for there are wars, hunger and injustice

You do not need to be one and three simultaneously6,

Just your wanting to help would be enough.

Which is your Kingdom?

The Vatican?

The banks?

High politics?

Our Kingdom is Nigeria

Ethiopia, Colombia, Hiroshima

Our daily bread are rapes,

Gender violence, pederasty,

Dictatorships, climate change.

I fall into temptation every day,

There is no morning in which I'm not tempted to create a fair and humble God

A God who dwells on Earth

In the valleys, the rivers

A God who dwells in the rain,

Who travels with the wind and caresses our souls.

A God of the sad, of the homosexuals

A more human God

A God who does not punish,

But instead teaches.

A God who does not threaten but protect.

Who will help me get up if I fall,

Who will give me his hand if I get lost.

A God who will not blame me if I err

Who will understand me if I doubt

Since for that reason did he endow me intelligence

To doubt everything.

Our father, of us all

Why have you forgotten us?

Our father, blind, deaf and unoccupied

Why have you forsaken us?

1. Or 'pious'2. Gaia has many meanings. It can be the Godess of the Earth, Earth itself, or the more meaningful Mother Earth. In the first case (here), it means Earth, while in the next case ("Gaia is only mother to.."), it means Mother Earth, as in the personification of nature3. Or the end of memory4. Llanto implies both the act of sobbing and the tears5. Literally, in Spanish, "and those who in you (we) no longer believe"6. Being God, and also the Holy Trinity
