Language: English

Our translations: SPA

War no mo', Lord, war no mo'!
I'm goin' to study
I'm goin' to lay down my burdens
Down by the river side.
Goin' to ride with my Jesus, oh Lord!
War no mo'!
Goin' to lay down my s'ord and shield
Down by the river side.
Ain't goin' to war no mo'
Down by the river side
Goin' to ride on a milk-white horse, by the river side
Goin' to wear a starry crown, by the river side
Goin' to ride with my, King Jesus, by the river side
No war, no mo'!

Ya no más guerras, Señor, ya no más...

Language: Spanish (Español) after the English

¡Ya no más guerras, Señor, ya no más guerras!
Voy a rezar
Voy a confesar mis penas
Junto al río.
¡Voy a seguir a mi Jesús, oh Señor!
¡Ya no más guerras!
Depondré mi espada y mi escudo
Junto al río.
Ya no iré a ninguna guerra
Junto al río
Montaré un caballo blanco como la nieve, junto al río
Llevaré una corona de estrellas, junto al río
Voy a seguir a Jesús, mi Rey, junto al río
¡Ya no más guerras!
