The 2006 UCMVA Unity Awards Spanish Album of the Year!

This Spanish-language CD is a result of collaboration by several people whose deep spirituality, love of the church, and passion for social justice is expressed abundantly and performed exquisitely by Jorge Rivera. Listen and you’ll hear the passionate rhythms of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as thoughtfully-composed, rousing texts that challenge and inspire. Deeply rooted in a Vincentian spirituality and in the energy of Hispanic Young Adult Ministry in the U.S., Reinventando el Amor features several outstanding tracks, including No Temas Migrante (a justice anthem for immigrants) and the title track which was used as a theme song for the Summer 2006 Encuentro held at the University of Notre Dame.   Escucharás cantos que nos desafían y nos inspiran. Las letras llevan el mensaje de una espiritualidad profunda, el amor a la iglesia, y un deseo para la justicia social. Incluye dos pistas extras re-mezcladas al estilo reggaetón. ¡No puedes faltar de escuchar a este CD!

Lyrics for "No Temas Migrante";

El Migrante y peregrino / Desplazado de su nación / Lucha por una nueva vida / Busca la superación / Con él camina Dios / El Migrante no es un criminal / Sueña con nuevos destinos / Déjenlo ganar su pan.

Estamos en las esquinas / En las plazas de la ciudad / Rechazados y discriminados / Queremos oportunidad / Nos llaman ilegales, / mojados, y mucho más / No somos terroristas / Buscamos trabajo, paz y dignidad.

Estribillo; ¡Migrante! Tu futuro cambiará. / ¡No temas! No te canses de luchar. / ¡Migrante! Lo que fuiste no serás. / ¡No temas! Dios te acompañará. (Text by; Leandro Fossá; Music by; Jesús de León; © 2006, World Library Publications.)

(English translation for reference only)
Migrants and pilgrims, / displaced from their own nations, / struggle for a new life, / seek to overcome. / God is with them. / Migrants are not criminals, / They dream of a new destiny. / Let them earn their bread.

Refrain; Oh Migrant! Your future will change. / Do not be afraid! Do not give up. / Oh Migrant! You will not be what you have been. / Do not be afraid! / Our God will be with you.

We are on every corner, / in the heart of the city, / rejected and discriminated against. / We just want opportunity. / They call us illegals, wetbacks, and much more. / We are not terrorists. / We seek only work, peace, and dignity.
