El de Pedro solamente by Manuel de Zumaya — Lyrics
El de Pedro solamente
se ha de llamar fino amor y con razón
porque lo ignoran los labios
y lo sabe el corazón.
[Coplas]
l. Si le ama más que los otros
preguntó Jesús a Pedro
y el su voluntad no solo probó
mas su entendimiento.
2. Ni si, ni no, respondió
con tan político esmero
que con él supo a fianzar
en lo amante lo discreto.

About El de Pedro solamente
Manuel de Zumaya's El de Pedro solamente is a sacred Spanish-language song for solo voice. The text explores the profound and discreet love of Peter for Jesus. The lyrics question how Peter's love can be measured, suggesting it is beyond human comprehension, known only to God. The poem contrasts superficial affirmations with the deep, inner conviction of true devotion. Zumaya captures this nuanced expression of faith and personal relationship with the divine, offering a contemplative experience for the performer and listener.
