Jesús Verbo, no Sustantivo
(Ricardo Arjona)

Ayer, Jesus afino mi guitarra y agudizo mis sentidos, me inspiro
Papel y lapiz en mano apunto la cancion y me negue a escribir
Porque hablar y escribir sobre Jesus es redundar, seria mejor actuar
Luego, algo me dijo que la unica forma de no redundar es decir la verdad
Decir que a Jesus le gusta que actuemos no que hablemos
Decir que Jesus es mas que cinco letras formando un nombre
Decir que Jesus es verbo no sustantivo

Jesus es mas que una simple y llana teoria
¿Que haces hermano leyendo la Biblia todo el dia?
Lo que alli esta escrito se resume en amor vamos, ve y practicalo
Jesus hermanos mios es verbo, no sustantivo

Jesus es mas que un templo de lujo con tendencia barroca
El sabe que total a la larga esto no es mas que roca
La iglesia se lleva en el alma y en los actos no se te olvide
Que Jesus hermanos mios es verbo, no sustantivo

Jesus es mas que un grupo de señoras de muy negra conciencia
Que pretenden ganarse el cielo con club de beneficencia
Si quieres tu ser miembro activa, tendras que presentar a la directiva
Tu cuenta de ahorros en Suiza y vinculos oficiales

Jesus es mas que persignarse, hincarse y hacer de esto alarde
El sabe que quiza por dentro la conciencia les arde
Jesus es mas que una flor en el altar salvadora de pecados
Jesus hermanos mios es verbo, no sustantivo

Jesus convertia en hechos todos sus sermones
Que si tomas cafe es pecado dicen los Mormones
Tienen tan poco que hacer que andan inventando cada cosa
Jesus hermanos mios es verbo, no sustantivo

Jesus no entiende por que en el culto le aplauden
Hablan de honestidad sabiendo que el diezmo es un fraude
A Jesus le da asco el pastor que se hace rico con la fe
Jesus hermanos mios es verbo, no sustantivo

De mi barrio la mas religiosa era doña Carlota
Hablaba de amor al projimo y me poncho cien pelotas
Desde niño fui aprendiendo que la religion no es mas que un metodo
Con el titulo prohibido pensar que ya todo esta escrito

Me bautizaron cuando tenia dos meses y a mi no me avisaron
Hubo fiesta piñata y a mi ni me preguntaron
Bautizame tu Jesus por favor asi entre amigos
Se que odias el protocolo hermano mio

Señores no dividan la fe las fronteras son para los paises
En este mundo hay mas religiones que niños felices
Jesus penso "me hare invisible para que todos mis hermanos
Dejen de estar hablando tanto de mi y se tiendan la mano"

Jesus eres el mejor testigo del amor que te profeso
Tengo la conciencia tranquila por eso no me confieso
Rezando dos padres nuestros el asesino no revive a su muerto
Jesus hermanos mios es verbo no sustantivo

Jesus no bajes a la tierra quedate alla arriba
Todos los que han pensado como tu ya estan boca arriba
Olvidados en algun cementerio, de equipaje sus ideales
Murieron con la sonrisa en los labios porque fueron
Verbo y no sustantivo
 

 Jesus Verb, not a Noun
(Ricardo Arjona)

Yesterday Jesus tuned in my guitar and made my senses acute, I get inspired
Paper and pencil in my hand i write down the song and I said I wouldn't write
Because speaking and writing about Jesus is a redundancy, it'd be better to act.
Then, something told me the only way to avoid redundancy is to tell the truth
To say that Jesus likes us to act, not to speak
To say that Jesus is more than just five letters which make up a name
To say that Jesus is a verb not a noun

Jesus is more than a simple straightforward theory
What are you doing reading the Bible all day brother?
What's written down there is summarised in love, come on and practice it
Jesus, my brothers, is a verb not a noun

Jesus is more than a temple of luxury with a baroque tendency
He knows that in the long run this is nothing more than rock
You carry the church in your soul and in the acts don't forget
That Jesus, my brothers, is a verb not a noun

Jesus is more than a group of ladies of the blackest conscience
Who expect to win their paradise with a charity club
If you want to be an active member you'll have to present to the board of directors
Your Swiss bank savings account and official links

Jesus is more than crossing your heart, kneeling and showing off
He knows that maybe on the inside their conscience burns
Jesus is more than a flower on the sin-saving altar
Jesus, my brothers, is a verb not a noun

Jesus converted his sermons into facts
If you have a coffee it's a sin say the Mormons
They have so little to do that they go around inventing things
Jesus, my brothers, is a verb not a noun

Jesus doesn't understand why they applaud him in the cult
They talk of honesty knowing that it's a fraud
Jesus is disgusted with the shepherd who gets rich off the faith
Jesus, my brothers, is a verb not a noun

In my neighbourhood the most religious woman was Miss Carlota
She spoke of love to your fellow man and she deflated a hundred balls
Since I was a boy I learnt that religion is nothing more than a method
With the prohibited title to think that everything has already been written

I was christened when I was 2 months old and I wasn't warned
There was a piñata party and I wasn't even asked
You christen me Jesus please so that amongst friends
I know you hate the protocol, my brother

Gentlemen don't divide the faith, borders are for the countries
In this world there are more religions than happy children
Jesus thought "I'll make myself invisible so that all my brothers
Stop talking so much about me and they hold out their hands to each other"

Jesus you are the best witness of the love I profess to you
I have a calm conscience, that's why I don't confess
Saying the Lord's Prayer doesn't let a murderer bring the dead back to life
Jesus, my brothers, is a verb not a noun

Jesus don't come down to earth, stay up there
All those who thought like you are already face upwards
Forgotten in some cemetary, with their ideals as their only baggage
They died with a smile on their lips because they were
A verb and not a noun
