Veo violencia en la ciudad, violencia y discordia.
Veo violencia en la ciudad.
¡Señor, ten piedad!
I see unrest in the city streets; / discord and suff’ring flourish. Violence and fear strike a constant beat. / Have mercy, O Lord!
1.Escucha, Oh Dios, mi oración;
Oye la voz de mi ruego.
Mira atento nuestra opresión,
ven y rescata a tu pueblo.
