and

and the most beautiful and spoiled angel

was banished for contradicting

and

and from then on to all those born

he usually judges us

to discuss

without light and fer returned to paradise

if he were pardoned by law

for everything I say and what they are

just strength

of ours you want

and

it was only 1

I would not prick the indiscreet do not scrutinize

already impiety

and without trident or respect

it would be a lot of humanity

where he was cuckolded by the hair

where was going to strain a D minor&#39

instead of sulfur for

and in the chest a heart

without light and fervor

for my sun

without light and does not stop

without lucifer for fear

without light and faith to see

never really knew what happened

and mysteries of the highest level

only that they would have that

and won in the same

for unfaithful

there the splendor of his two wings

he rolled up his sleeves from shadow and fire

and all its virtues

and all its truth

tribulation

and all its truth

that's why it's the food of prying eyes, that's why

is white of impiety

Well, without a trident my respect is already beautiful

The humanity

where ivan horns with hair

where I have put a patch

instead of expensive sulfur

and in the chest a heart

without light and fervor to paradise without lucifer

by land for

without lucifer coming back

and lucifer by stone

Silvio Rodriguez, a master of Cuban nueva trova, brings us a thought-provoking song that playfully imagines a world where Lucifer returns to Paradise. The lyrics start by reminding us that "el ángel más hermoso y consentido fue desterrado por contradecir" [the most beautiful and spoiled angel was banished for contradicting]. This banishment, Silvio suggests, is why "a todos los nacidos se nos suele juzgar por discutir" [all of us born are usually judged for discussing].

But what if Lucifer were forgiven? "Si Lucifer volviera al paraíso, si fuera perdonado por la ley" [If Lucifer returned to Paradise, if he were forgiven by the law], Silvio wonders, would he still be the same? He imagines a Lucifer without his pitchfork or disrespect, one who would be "mucha humanidad" [much humanity]. Instead of horns and sulfur, he'd have "un corazón" [a heart]. The song questions the very nature of good and evil, and how much of what we know about Lucifer is just "pasto de indiscretos" [fodder for indiscreet people] and "blanco de impiedad" [a target of impiety]. It's a fascinating look at redemption and the idea that even the most 'evil' among us might just need a little understanding.
