1 C uando el Señor hizo volver a los cautivos de Sion, Eramos como los que sueñan.

It was like a dream when the Lord brought back to Zion those who had been held in another land.

2 E ntonces nuestra boca se llenó de risa, Y nuestra lengua de gritos de alegría; Entonces dijeron entre las naciones: “Grandes cosas ha hecho el Señor con ellos.”

Then we laughed with our mouths, and we sang with our tongues. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”

3 G randes cosas ha hecho el Señor con nosotros; Estamos alegres.

The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad.

4 H az volver, Señor, a nuestros cautivos, Como las corrientes en el sur.

Bring back our people, O Lord, like the rivers in the South.

5 L os que siembran con lágrimas, segarán con gritos de júbilo.

Those who plant with tears will gather fruit with songs of joy.

6 E l que con lágrimas anda, llevando la semilla de la siembra, En verdad volverá con gritos de alegría, trayendo sus gavillas.

He who goes out crying as he carries his bag of seed will return with songs of joy as he brings much grain with him.
