Translation of the song lyrics Jesus, Verbo No Sustantivo - Ricardo Arjona

Jesus, Verbo No Sustantivo (original)

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 do’a 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

(translation)

Yesterday, Jesus tuned my guitar and sharpened my senses, I was inspired
Paper and pencil in hand, I wrote down the song and I refused to write
Because speaking and writing about Jesus is redundant, it would be better to act
Then something told me that the only way to avoid redundancy is to tell the truth
Saying that Jesus likes us to act not to talk
Say that Jesus is more than five letters forming a name
To say that Jesus is a verb not a noun
Jesus is more than just a plain and simple theory
What are you doing brother reading the Bible all day?
What is written there is summed up in love come on, go and practice it
Jesus my brothers is a verb, not a noun
Jesus is more than a luxury temple with a baroque trend
He knows that in the long run this is nothing more than rock
The church is carried in the soul and in the acts do not forget
That Jesus my brothers is a verb, not a noun
Jesus is more than a group of ladies with a very black conscience
Who intend to earn heaven with a charity club
If you want to be an active member, you will have to present to the board
Your Swiss savings account and official links
Jesus is more than crossing himself, kneeling and bragging about this
He knows that perhaps inside their conscience burns
Jesus is more than a flower on the altar, savior of sins
Jesus my brothers is a verb, not a noun
Jesus turned all his sermons into facts about him
That if you drink coffee it is a sin, say the Mormons
They have so little to do that they are inventing everything
Jesus my brothers is a verb, not a noun
Jesus does not understand why in the cult they applaud him
They talk about honesty knowing that tithing is a fraud
Jesus is disgusted by the shepherd who gets rich with faith
Jesus my brothers is a verb, not a noun
From my neighborhood the most religious was do'a Carlota
She talked about love of neighbor and I hit a hundred balls
Since I was a child I learned that religion is nothing more than a method
With the forbidden title to think that everything is already written
They baptized me when I was two months old and they didn't tell me
There was a piñata party and they didn't even ask me
Baptize me Jesus please like this among friends
I know you hate protocol my brother
Gentlemen, do not divide faith, borders are for countries
There are more religions in this world than happy children
Jesus thought «I will make myself invisible so that all my brothers
Stop talking so much about me and reach out your hand»
Jesus you are the best witness of the love that I profess for you
I have a clear conscience that's why I don't go to confession
Praying two our fathers the murderer does not revive his dead
Jesus my brothers is a verb not a noun
Jesus, don't go down to earth, stay up there
All those who have thought like you are already face up
Forgotten in some cemetery, baggage your ideals
They died with a smile on their lips because they were
Verb and no noun
