Translation

Son of man, listen to the words of the Lord. (0:19)

He says, I’m the creator of the world and all that is in it.

Therefore, I took the dust and made man in my image, because of my love.

I gave him authority over all the creatures and made him to be like my Self.

Unfortunately, due to the evil desire of his eyes

he disobeyed me and separated himself from my goodness, he went away.

CHORUS

Listen to the footsteps of the Lord, he is looking for you.

Listen closely, he is asking: Son of man, where are you?

Where are you son of man? You need to stay beside your creator.

Come back home!

Son of man, why have you disappointed your creator?

You are focusing on earthly and temporal things.

You ask yourself where God is and if He is important at all?

My heart, have rest and be comfortable,

you already have all you need. What else will you want?

Will you not remember that your life is in His hands?

CHORUS

Listen to the footsteps of the Lord, he is looking for you.

Listen closely, he is asking: Son of man, where are you?

Where are you son of man? You need to stay beside your creator.

Come back home!

Listen now son of man.

The Lord is so merciful that He has promised not to remember your iniquities.

After all, I will pardon all of those who come back to me.

So dear brother, come back to the Lord as you hear His voice is calling.

Consider that His voice will not call forever. Come now when there is still time.

CHORUS

Listen to the footsteps of the Lord, he is looking for you.

Listen closely, he is asking: Son of man, where are you?

Where are you son of man? You need to stay beside your creator.

Come back home!
