Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

como el labrador aguarda el fruto
y al cielo pide lluvia
como la madre pasiente
anhela al niño de su vientre
asi nosotros esperamos
al Dios de la vida
pasientes y sedientos
deseamos su venida

maranatha no tardes mas
ven señor tus hijos piden

maranatha no tardes mas
ven señor tus hijos piden
maranatha

como el pesacador
hecha sus redes
y espera que se llenen
como aquel pueblo en guerra
desea que la paz regrese

asi nosotros esperamos
al dios que nos guia
pasientes y sedientos
deseamos su venida

maranatha no tardes mas
ven señor tus hijos piden
maranatha no tardes mas
ven señor tus hijos piden
maranatha
...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lisa Gerrard and Patrick Cassidy's song Maranatha express a deep longing for the coming of God. The opening lines compare this longing to the patience of a farmer waiting for his crops or a mother eagerly anticipating the birth of her child. The chorus repeats the plea "Maranatha no tardes mas" (which means "Lord, come quickly"), emphasizing the urgent desire for God's arrival. The second verse draws on the image of a fisherman casting his nets in hope of a plentiful catch or a people at war longing for peace to return. Throughout the song, the lyrics convey a sense of restlessness and yearning, coupled with a quiet but persistent faith that God will come.
