THE HOUSE is BLACK

The world with full of ugliness.

There would still be more

if the man separated the look.

They will see in screen
an image of the ugliness,

a portrait of the suffering,

to fight against this ugliness,

to alleviate this suffering.

That is the hope that
it has inspired this movie.

Lord, I praise you
to have created me

and to have created
to my father and my mother

and for the water that flows
and the trees that give fruits.

Lord, I praise you to have given me
hands to work,

eyes to see
the marvels of the world

hearings to listen
beautiful melodies

and feet to go wherever wants.

Who is that that praises you
in the hell, oh Lord?

Sing your names, Eternal oh

Sing your names
with the harp of ten strings

because you have created me
in a wonderful way.

My bones didn't hide
of You when they were formed.

I was created in the bowel
of the earth.

Each one of my members are inscribed
in Your great registration.

And Your eyes, my God,
they saw my fetus.

No longer to be all in spring
but the words will be.

Did the destination bring me aqu?
My heart is full with pain.

The leprosy is a contagious illness.

The leprosy in everywhere.

The leprosy accompanies to the poverty.

The leprosy eats away the fabrics,
it hardens the tendons,

it blunts the sense of the tact,
it stiffens the fingers,

it attacks the eyes, like it attacks the liver
and the marrow of the bones

and opens the road to other illnesses.

The leprosy is not incurable.

To take care of the lepers
it is to stop the infection.

All place where the protection is effective,
the leprosy disappears.

The leper is treated if it is assisted
from the beginning of the wrong.

The leprosy is not an incurable illness.

Oh generous God,

Please grant Your benefits
in the face of our supplications.

on the men and the spirits.

On behalf of God,
Clemente and Merciful,

on behalf of God and for heaven's sake,

I undergo You completely,

Oh generous God, I return my face
toward Yours

and I undergo Your orders.

I leave my luck in Your hands,

my left and my right,

my sides and my destination.

I obey Your orders
and to Your power,

and any return doesn't exist

and any power but that of God.

Oh, if he had dove wings

it would fly far and he would find rest

because I see the violence and the disputes.

I have suffered a lot in this earth.

The earth with pregnant of inertia
and he gave origin to the wrong.

My God, where I take refuge
outside of Your spirit and Your presence?

If it rode the winds of the dawn

and lived in the sea,

it would feel the weight of your hand
on me

You made me drink
the wine of the indecision.

Your roads are inscrutable.

Your roads are inscrutable.

It hurts me the anguish of my heart

It hurts me the bitterness of my soul

While I keep silent,
my bones waste away

because your hand weighs on me

remembers that my life is an encouragement.

I am as the spilled water

and as those that are already dead.

And the shade of the death
covered on my lids.

That leaves me that retires of me..

before leaving forever
to the country of the darkness.

Don't give to the beasts
the soul of the turtledove.

remembers that my life is an encouragement

and that it is divided in months of pain.

And around me the cheerful songs

the noise of the mill

and the alive light has disappeared.

Happy those that
at this time they harvest

and whose hands
they can pick up the spikes.

listens the history that he narrates the fire
in the desert without prints.

The song of that that sighs

and he lifts the hands
to the sky, saying:

"Unfortunately, my wounds
they have become insensitive."

Oh forgotten of the time,

that you get dressed of red,
you take jewels of gold

and you loose your hair
until the hips,

that you make up your kohl eyes,

remembers that it is useless
that you become beautiful

and that you are a song
in the desert,

abandoned of yours.

The day it decays, the shades
of the afternoon they lengthen

and like a cage full with birds,
our life full with laments.

The turtledoves implore justice
and we wait the light.

Sometimes, when beginning the night,
we see a luminous star.

He is the star Neptune.

The star Neptune
is very brilliant.

The star Neptune
is next to us.

The star Neptune
doesn't twinkle.

For necessary that to thank to God
that has given us father and mother?

respond!

Non of I don't have parents.

Make an appointment four beautiful things.

The moon, the sun,
the flowers, the game.

Make an appointment three ugly things.

The hands, the feet,
the eyes.

It forms a sentence
with the word she marries.

She marries of the leprosy

The house is black.

Oh overflowed river
pushed by a current of love,

they come toward us, they come toward us.
