Make them righteous men!

Righteous men

paula robles nettel

Take them to the highest top

far, far  away from here,

there, where she cannot be found

in the horizon of their hopes.

Take them to the safest ground

where their aspirations 

make them righteous men.

And if she must be remembered

let it be so,

comforting and vague

as the soft winds of spring

that germinates the bloom

of their mountain trails.

Keep the chisel in their talents 

grant them peace and gladness

let them forget that she once was

their flower, their bloom, their trail.

Virtuous is her desert

where your silence speaks to her,

hear the righteous part of her,

pray: Make them righteous men!

Take them to their highest top

they’ll  be close to you,

close to you my God.
