Sólo le pido a Dios [English translation]

All I ask of God

Is that pain not be meaningless to me

That desiccated death not encounter me

Empty and alone, without having done enough.

All I ask of God

Is that injustice not be meaningless to me

That they not slap my other cheek

After a claw has scratched away my fortune.

All I ask of God

Is that war not be meaningless to me,

It's a huge monster and it tramples hard

Upon all the poor innocence of the people.

All I ask of God

Is that deception not be meaningless to me,

If a traitor is able to get one over on the many,

That those many not readily forget it.

All I ask of God

Is that the future not be meaningless to me,

Lost is one who must leave

In order to experience a new culture.

All I ask of God

Is that war not be meaningless to me

It's a huge monster and it tramples hard

Upon all the poor innocence of the people.
