Описание: RISE UP (bilingual version, 2022)
Original Song: "Anda... levántate y anda"
Lyrics & Music © 2012. Álvaro Fraile (https://alvarofraile.com)
Translation © Juan Delgado

At a time when structural and interpersonal violence is normalized, many young people are losing hope. From armed warfare to daily bullying, from raw poverty to exclusion and discrimination…

A group of us young Catholics wanted to sing and witness that there is always time for love. Without knowing each other, we decided to come together, and bet on a faith that opens new paths forward. We hope that this song inspires you and all of us to trust in the presence of our loving God, who sustains our history.

TEXT

Ooooh, Oooooh...

Don’t be afraid, don't you give up
don’t let yourself lose hope.
Don’t be afraid, I am with you
whatever comes your way
And do not let despair trouble your heart
Your faith can always guide you.
Rise up, stand up and go on.

Don’t be afraid, do not despair
Don’t let your trust be broken.
Don’t be afraid, I am with you
no matter where you go
And don’t give up your dreams, don’t give up hope
And if you ever fall
Rise up, stand up and go on.

Ooooh, Oooooh...

Don’t be afraid, I’ll hold you close
just take the first step forward
Don’t be afraid, I’ll care for you
I’ll be there when you need me
I can make all things anew and you
can always start again and
Rise up, stand up and go on.

Tú eres mi sueño y mi causa
no pienses que voy a dejarte caer
voy a despertarte y estaré a tu lado
para que cada día sea un nuevo renacer.
Y para que tengas vida... ¡Anda, levántate!

Ooooh, Oooooh...
