With God On Our Side by Bob Dylan
Lyrics & Translation
English
Oh, my name—it ain't nothin'
My age—it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that the land that I live in
Has God on its side
Oh, the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh, the country was young
With God on its side
The Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side
The First World War, boys
It came and it went
The reason for fighting
I never did get
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side
The Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And then we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side
I've learned to hate the Russians
All through my whole life
If another war comes
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side
But now we got weapons
Of chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side
Through many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side
So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And they fall to the floor
That if God's on our side
He'll stop the next war

With God On Our Side (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Oh, mi nombre—no es nada
Mi edad—significa menos
El país de donde vengo
Se llama el Medio Oeste
Fui enseñado y criado allí
Las leyes a cumplir
Y que la tierra en la que vivo
Tiene a Dios de su lado
Oh, los libros de historia lo cuentan
Lo cuentan tan bien
Las caballerías cargaron
Los indios cayeron
Las caballerías cargaron
Los indios murieron
Oh, el país era joven
Con Dios de su lado
La hispanoamericana
Guerra tuvo su día
Y la Guerra Civil también
Pronto fue dejada de lado
Y los nombres de los héroes
Me hicieron memorizar
Con armas en sus manos
Y Dios de su lado
La Primera Guerra Mundial, muchachos
Vino y se fue
La razón para luchar
Nunca la entendí
Pero aprendí a aceptarlo
Aceptarlo con orgullo
Porque no cuentas a los muertos
Cuando Dios está de tu lado
La Segunda Guerra Mundial
Llegó a su fin
Perdonamos a los alemanes
Y luego fuimos amigos
Aunque asesinaron a seis millones
En los hornos que frieron
Los alemanes ahora también
Tienen a Dios de su lado
He aprendido a odiar a los rusos
Durante toda mi vida
Si otra guerra viene
Es a ellos a quienes debemos combatir
Odiarlos y temerles
Correr y esconderse
Y aceptarlo todo valientemente
Con Dios de mi lado
Pero ahora tenemos armas
De polvo químico
Si nos vemos forzados a dispararlas
Entonces debemos dispararlas
Un solo empuje del botón
Y un disparo a todo el mundo
Y nunca haces preguntas
Cuando Dios está de tu lado
A través de muchas horas oscuras
He estado pensando en esto
Que Jesucristo
Fue traicionado por un beso
Pero no puedo pensar por ti
Tendrás que decidir
Si Judas Iscariote
Tenía a Dios de su lado
Así que ahora que me voy
Estoy cansado como el infierno
La confusión que siento
Ninguna lengua puede contar
Las palabras llenan mi cabeza
Y caen al suelo
Que si Dios está de nuestro lado
Él detendrá la próxima guerra
