Rut y Noemí
Ain Karem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dos mujeres solas de las que Dios se sirvió
Una gentil y otra judía
Noemí "la Dulce", Rut "la Amiga"
Obligadas por el hambre a emigrar
A la Ciudad del Pan
Sin tierra, sin marido, ¡es el final!
Sin hijos que su historia puedan eternizar
Noemí "la Amarga", Rut, "fuerza activa"
Amistad que es signo de fidelidad
Fidelidad de Dios
DONDE TU VAYAS, YO IRÉ
DONDE HABITES, HABITARÉ
DONDE TU VAYAS, YO IRÉ
DONDE HABITES, HABITARÉ
TU PUEBLO SERÁ MI PUEBLO
TU DIOS SERÁ MI DIOS
DONDE TU MUERAS, MORIRÉ
DONDE TE ENTIERREN, SERÉ ENTERRADA
DONDE TU MUERAS, MORIRÉ
DONDE TE ENTIERREN, SERÉ ENTERRADA
TU PUEBLO SERÁ MI PUEBLO
TU DIOS SERÁ MI DIOS
SÓLO LA MUERTE NOS SEPARARÁ
TAN SÓLO LA MUERTE NOS SEPARARÁ
These lyrics are from the song "Rut y Noemí" by Ain Karem. The song tells the story of two women, Noemí and Rut, who find themselves alone and vulnerable. Noemí is described as "sweet" or "gentle," while Rut is referred to as a "friend" or "companion." Due to a famine, they are forced to migrate to the City of Bread (Bethlehem) without husbands and without land. Their future seems bleak, without any children to carry on their legacy. One of them represents death (Noemí) and the other represents life (Rut). Despite their different circumstances, they form a strong bond and demonstrate true friendship and loyalty. The lyrics highlight the faithfulness of God, who serves as a sign of their enduring friendship.
In these verses, the commitment between Noemí and Rut is emphasized. They pledge to follow each other wherever they go and to dwell in the same place. They declare that Rut's people will be Noemí's people and Rut's God will be Noemí's God. The lyrics also express their willingness to die and be buried together, indicating that nothing but death will separate them.
Overall, this song explores themes of friendship, faithfulness, and loyalty amidst difficult circumstances. It celebrates the deep connection between Noemí and Rut as they navigate their challenging journey together.
