[English]

I talked with God yesterday

He told me to get ready

He said my thing is already on its way

I talked with God, he said: "Don't hold back"

What you're planting will soon hold firm

Great things are coming, bigger than you think

Everything you lost multiplies a hundredfold"

Don't look down when the world criticizes you

The one who endures strongly is the one who later leads

The process hurts, but it builds you

And the one who trusts in God never gets destroyed

He said: "Son, stay calm, your turn is almost here"

Time is perfect, it never makes mistakes

Hold on a little longer, don't lose focus

When it comes to me, no one will stop it

I talked with God yesterday

He said it's going to happen for me

Great things are coming

The sky is going to open wide

I talked with God yesterday

He told me: "Don't look back

What's coming is yours

And nobody will take it away from you"

He told me the waiting wasn't a punishment

Silence was part of the journey

Every tear was training

For when the big moment arrives

The one who doubted will later watch

How the one who prayed began to win

When God signs your destiny

No enemy can change the path

If everything darkens, I still believe

If everything falls, I still stand because this time

Because I talked with God yesterday

He told me that this time

I talked with God yesterday

He told me it's going to happen for me

Great things are coming

Nothing will take it away from me

Please, don't look back

What's coming is mine

And I won't let it go

...

[Spanish]

Ayer hablé con Dios

Y me dijo que me prepare

Que lo mío ya viene en camino

Ayer hablé con Dios, me dijo: "No te frenes

Que lo que estás sembrando pronto se sostiene

Que vienen cosas grandes, más grandes de lo que crees

Que todo lo que perdiste se multiplica en cien"

Que no mire p'abajo cuando el mundo critique

Que el que resiste fuerte es el que después dirige

Que el proceso duele, pero te construye

Y el que confía en Dios nunca se destruye

Me dijo: "Hijo, tranquilo, ya casi te toca"

Que el tiempo es perfecto, nunca se equivoca

Que aguante un poco más, que no me desenfoque

Que cuando se me dé, nadie lo va a parar

Ayer hablé con Dios

Y me dijo que se me va a dar

Que vienen cosas grandes

Que el cielo se va a abrir de par en par

Ayer hablé con Dios

Y me dijo: "No mires atrás

Lo que viene es tuyo

Y nadie te lo va a quitar"

Me dijo que la espera no fue castigo

Que el silencio era parte del camino

Que cada lágrima fue entrenamiento

Pa cuando llegue el gran momento

Que el que dudó, después va a mirar

Cómo el que oró empezó a ganar

Que cuando Dios te firma el destino

No hay enemigo que cambie el camino

Si todo se oscurece, yo sigo creyendo

Si todo se cae, yo sigo de pie porque esta vez

Porque ayer hablé con Dios

Y me dijo que esta vez

Ayer hablé con Dios

Y me dijo que se me va a dar

Que vienen cosas grandes

Que nada me lo va a quitar

Por favor, no mires atrás

Lo que viene es mío

Y ya no lo voy a soltar
