[English]

Merciful One

Today I beg you in vain

And yet, I must ask

That you show your compassion

...

If you’re fair as a judge

If you’ve forgiven the traitor

I wonder why

You allow so much suffering

Why does the sun weep in sorrow?

Why do children bleed today?

Why is the world dying, God?

Why are we alone?

Under this sea of gloom

Where are you, God?

...

Another dark dawn

I no longer have any doubt within me

I want to see that you’re here

And here I am all alone

Why does the sun weep in sorrow?

Why do children bleed today?

Why is the world dying, God?

Why are we alone?

Under this sea of gloom

Where are you, God?

...

Why does the sun weep in sorrow?

Why do children bleed today?

Why is the world dying, God?

Why are we alone?

Under this sea of gloom

There is no God, God

...

[Spanish]

Misericordioso ser

Hoy te imploro en vano yo

Igualmente he de pedir

Que muestres tu compasión

Si eres justo como juez

Si al traidor diste perdón

Me pregunto yo el porqué

Permites tanto dolor

¿Por qué llora triste el sol?

¿Por qué sangran niños hoy?

¿Por qué muere el mundo, Dios?

¿Por qué estamos solos?

Bajo el mar de la penumbra

¿Dónde estás, Dios?

Otro oscuro amanecer

Ya no hay duda en mi interior

Quiero ver que estás aquí

y aquí estoy tan solo yo

¿Por qué llora triste el sol?

¿Por qué sangran niños hoy?

¿Por qué muere el mundo, Dios?

¿Por qué estamos solos?

Bajo el mar de la penumbra

¿Dónde estás, Dios?

¿Por qué llora triste el sol?

¿Por qué sangran niños hoy?

¿Por qué muere el mundo, Dios?

¿Por qué estamos solos?

Bajo el mar de la penumbra

Ya no hay Dios, Dios

Key Grammar Structures

• Hoy te imploro en vano yo

  ➔ Subject pronoun emphasis + simple present

  ➔ Including “yo” after “imploro” explicitly highlights the subject in a simple present tense declaration.

• Igualmente he de pedir

  ➔ "haber de" + infinitive for obligation

  ➔ “He de pedir” uses “haber de” + infinitive to convey a sense of duty or necessity.

• Si eres justo como juez

  ➔ Type I conditional + comparative simile

  ➔ “Si eres” introduces a real condition (Type I), and “como juez” uses a simile to compare the subject’s fairness.

• Me pregunto yo el porqué

  ➔ Nominalized "porqué" + reflexive verb

  ➔ “Porqué” is used as a noun meaning “reason,” and “me pregunto” is a reflexive structure meaning “I wonder.”

• ¿Por qué llora triste el sol?

  ➔ Interrogative “por qué” + VSO word order

  ➔ “Por qué” asks “why,” then follows the verb-subject-object order (llora → el sol), with “triste” as post-verbal adjective.

• Bajo el mar de la penumbra

  ➔ Prepositional phrase of location + metaphor

  ➔ “Bajo” introduces a location (“under the sea”), and “de la penumbra” extends the metaphor of darkness.

• ¿Dónde estás, Dios?

  ➔ Interrogative adverb “dónde” + subject omission

  ➔ “Dónde” asks “where,” and the subject pronoun is dropped because context (Dios) is clear.

• Ya no hay Dios, Dios

  ➔ Negation with “ya no” + impersonal “hay”

  ➔ “Ya no” indicates something that no longer exists, paired with the impersonal “hay” to mean “there is no longer.”
