Mensajero Malvado

Wicked Messenger

Hubo un mensajero malvadoThere was a wicked messenger
De Eli vino,From Eli he did come,
Con una mente que multiplicabaWith a mind that multiplied
El menor asunto.The smallest matter.
Cuando se le preguntó quién lo había enviado,When questioned who had sent for him,
Respondió con su pulgar,He answered with his thumb,
Pues su lengua no podía hablar, solo halagar.For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter.

Se quedó detrás del salón de asambleas,He stayed behind the assembly hall,
Fue allí donde hizo su cama,It was there he made his bed,
A menudo se le veía regresar.Oftentimes he could be seen returning.
Hasta que un día simplemente aparecióUntil one day he just appeared
Con una nota en su mano que decía,With a note in his hand which read,
"Las plantas de mis pies, juro que están ardiendo.""The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning."

Oh, las hojas comenzaron a caerOh, the leaves began to fallin'
Y los mares comenzaron a separarse,And the seas began to part,
Y las personas que lo enfrentaron eran muchas.And the people that confronted him were many.
Y solo le dijeron estas pocas palabras,And he was told but these few words,
Que abrieron su corazón,Which opened up his heart,
"Si no puedes traer buenas noticias, entonces no traigas ninguna.""If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any."
