Lyrical controversy

[edit]

On the line, "Tierra bendita y divina, es la de Palestina", the Holy Land is referred to asPalestine. The origin of the name "Palestine" translates inHebrewPəléshseth (פלשת), which refers to the kingdom ofPhilistia: arch-enemy ofIsrael and west of theKingdom of Judah.

Lyrics

[edit]

These are the lyrics in Spanish:

The line "Y en tus hermoso olivares," refers to theOlive trees of Israel.
Spanish lyrics:
Tierra bendita y divina
es la dePalestina
donde nació Jesús;
Eres, de las naciones, cumbre
bañada por la lumbre
que derramó su luz.
Coro
Eres la historia inolvidable,
Porque en tu seno se derramó
La sangre, preciosa sangre,
Del unigénito Hijo de Dios.
Cuenta la historia del pasado
que en tu seno sagrado
vivió el Salvador,
Y en tus hermoso olivares,
habló a los millares
la palabra de amor.
Quedan en ti testigos mudos,
que son los viejos muros
de laJerusalén;
Viejas paredes ya destruidas,
que si tuvieran vida,
nos hablarían bien.
English translation:
Blessed and divine land
is that ofPalestine
where Jesus was born;
You are the summit of all nations
bathed by the fire
that His light has shed
Chorus
You are the unforgettable story,
For in thy bosom spilled
The blood, the precious blood
Of the only-begotten son of God.
Ancient history has it
That in thy sacred bosom
The Saviour lived,
And in your beautiful olive groves,
He spoke to thousands of people
The word of love.
Silent witnesses are in you,
Which are those old walls
ofJerusalem;
Old walls since destroyed,
That if they were alive,
Would tell us the story.
