“El Rey” – The King
Yosef Daniel composes new words for a famous mariachi song to “El Rey”, The King. The song speaks of yearning for the Beit HaMikdash and the full redemption.
El Rey is an old mariachi song and one of the most famous songs in Spanish music history! When Yosef was asked what prompted him to write a song with the same title, he replied, “‘El Rey’ means ‘The King’ and we know Who the real King is!”
LYRICS
Miles y miles de siglos pasan
Y Tu nombre suige en lo alto
Las aves cantan Tus alabanzas
Y yo soñando en tu Bet HaMikdash
Y un mundo lleno de eterna paz
Thousands and thousands of generations pass
And yet Your name still remains on high
The birds sing Your praise
And I’m here dreaming of Your Beis HaMikdash
And a world of eternal peace
Ya se alargó nuestro triste desamparo
Pero seguimos esperando Tu Geulah Shelem
Muchas naciones desaparecerán
Our sad abandonment has lasted long enough
Yet we keep waiting for Your Full Redemption
Many nations may disappear
Pero sigues siendo El Rey del Universo,
De mi corazón de mis sentimientos
Sigues siendo el rey
But You still remain the King of the Universe,
Of my heart and my sentiments
You still remain the King
Tell us what you think!
