Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hallelujah by Olga Tañón from Spanish to English.
Un soldado a casa regresó y un niño enfermo se curó
A soldier returned home and a sick child was cured
Y hoy hay trabajo en el bosque de la lluvia
And today there's work in the rainforest
Un desamparado se salvo por causa de una buena acción
A homeless person was saved because of a good deed
Y hoy nadie lo repudia aleluya
And today nobody shuns him, hallelujah
Un ateo que consiguió creer
An atheist who managed to believe
Y un hambriento y tiene que comer
And a hungry person has food to eat
Y hoy donaron a una iglesia una fortuna
And today they donated a fortune to a church
Que la guerra pronto se acabará
That the war will end soon
Que en el mundo al fin reinará la paz
That peace will finally reign in the world
Que no habrá miseria alguna aleluya
That there won't be any misery, hallelujah
No preguntes por qué sino ¿para qué señor?
Don't ask why, but what for, Lord?
Por que la norma sea el amor
So that love may be the norm
Y no gobierne la corrupción
And corruption doesn't rule
Sino lo bueno y lo mejor del alma pura
But the good and the best of a pure soul
Por que Dios nos proteja de un mal final
So that God protects us from a bad ending
Porque un día podamos escarmentar
So that one day we can learn our lesson
Porque acabe toda furia aleluya
So that all fury ends, hallelujah
