Arlene Sierra, Cristo no tiene cuerpo (2024)

Performed by the choir of the Conservatorio Superior de Música "Joaquín Rodrigo”, Nadia Stoyanova, director
Auditorio Conservatorio Superior de Música "Joaquín Rodrigo" de Valencia, 11 December 2024

Cristo no tiene cuerpo is a setting of a poem attributed to St Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

Cristo no tiene cuerpo, sino el tuyo,
No tiene manos, o pies en la tierra, sino los tuyos,
Tuyos son los ojos con los que ve
La compasión en este mundo,
Tuyos son los pies con los que camina para hacer el bien,
Tuyas son las manos, con el que bendice todo el mundo.
Tuyas son las manos, tuyos son los pies, Tuyos son los ojos, eres tu 
Su cuerpo.
Cristo no tiene otro cuerpo sino el tuyo.

Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he sees
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no other body but yours.

Sierra: Cristo no tiene cuerpo
