El Inmortal by Manny Montes: English translation of lyrics
by staff writer,

He didn't have to do it, nevertheless he did it
They spit on him, hit him, threw him on the floor
They hit him, mistreated him, whipped him
His skin ripped and his face disfigured

And there I was with the ship in my hands
And there I was piercing his side
And there I was nailing his hands down
Because it was you and I who crucified him

Chorus:
To be born, to die, to resurrect
He did it, I believe it
That's why he is The Inmortal
To be born, to die, to resurrect
He did it, I believe it
That's why I am an inmortal

He died for the pentecostals and for the catholics
He died for the addicts, the prostitutes, the alcoholics
He died for the believers and died for the atheists
He died for Americans, Africans, and Europeans

He died for Michael Jordan, Ricky Martin and for Tyson
He died for Eminem, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Jackson
He died for Madonna, Christina Aguilear and Britney
He died for Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and he died for Hitler

He died for Picasso, and for Princess Diana
He died for Albert Einstein and for Mother Theresa
He died for Tego, for Hector, for Don Omar, Daddy Yankee
He died for Saddam Hussein and for Osama Bin Laden

He died for The Pope, for Bush and for Don King
He died for Tito Trinidad, Bill Gates and for Benny Hinn
He died for homosexuals and for evangelists
He died for missionaries and for terrorists

He died for assassins, scoundrels, and governors
He died for mafia members, for ministers and for assailants
He died for those who reject him and those who receive him
I accepted him, and you? Tell me, what did you decide?

Chorus:

If you are the King of Kings
Come down from the cross, come down from the cross, come down from the cross
If you are the Son of God
Come down from the cross, come down from the cross, come down from the cross
If you are the Messiah
Come down from the cross, come down from the cross, come down from the cross
If you are omnipotent
Come down from the cross, come down from the cross, come down from the cross

He could have come down and made it all ashes
The soldiers, he could have pulverized every bone in sight
He could have come down from the cross as if nothing was happening
He could have said: You there be decapitated and could have laughed about it

I am the King of Kings and you need to respect me
But he couldn't do it. He had to achieve his goal
Spill all his blood and died on that cross
So that I would be saved and so that you would be saved

Chorus:

Jesus Christ...
The Son of God...
Who died on a cross...
Spilling all his blood...
Rose on the third day...
to give us life...
In that manner, making fun of death...
Because not even death could overcome him...
He is... Inmortal...
The Inmortal...
The Inmortal...

And us...
The inmortals
Manny Montes, Sandy y OBED
