Lyrics
Verse 1
Era domingo de Pascua, mi Jesús, antes del amanecer,
y María estaba despierta — sin comer, sin dormir, sin descansar.
Habían pasado tres días desde aquel viernes negro,
guardando en silencio la promesa que Te oyó decir.
Las otras mujeres ya iban camino a la tumba,
Ella se quedó en casa, orando en la penumbra.
Porque Ella, mi Jesús, lo había creído desde siempre:
que aquel domingo, Tú ibas a volver.
Pre-chorus
Y allá, en el jardín del sepulcro, mi Jesús, al alba,
María Magdalena Te vio — ¡estabas vivo otra vez!
Y corrió a gritarle al mundo entero la noticia,
mientras María, en casa…
…ya creía sin haber visto…
Chorus
Se cumplió la profecía, mi Jesús, lo que Ella ya creía,
lo que un día Te oyó decir, hoy domingo se cumplía.
Y Ella creyó cuando nadie creía todavía,
y aquel domingo, mi Jesús… se cumplió la profecía.
Verse 2
Llegaron corriendo las mujeres, ¡llenas de alegría!,
gritando por las calles: «¡Está vivo! ¡Resucitó!»
Y cuando la noticia llegó a María, mi Jesús,
sonrió por primera vez en tres días — ¡por fin volviste!
Y lloró también, pero eran lágrimas de gozo,
las lágrimas de quien siempre creyó que volverías.
Tu cuerpo, mi Jesús, había vencido a la muerte,
y aquel domingo, mi Jesús… todo, todo cambió.
Chorus
Se cumplió la profecía, mi Jesús, lo que Ella ya creía,
lo que un día Te oyó decir, hoy domingo se cumplía.
Y Ella creyó cuando nadie creía todavía,
y aquel domingo, mi Jesús… venció toda agonía.
Bridge
Y María, mi Jesús, en silencio dio gracias,
no por haber visto, sino por haber creído sin verTe.
Su fe fue Tu primera victoria, antes que el mundo Te viera,
y en aquel silencio sagrado, mi Jesús…
el cielo y la tierra fueron uno… y la muerte ya no entraba.
Final chorus
Se cumplió la profecía, mi Jesús, lo que Ella ya creía,
lo que un día Te oyó decir, hoy domingo se cumplía.
Y Ella creyó cuando nadie creía todavía,
y aquel domingo, mi Jesús… nació la vida mía.
Tag
¡Se cumplió…! (¡se cumplió!)
¡La profecía…! (¡la profecía!)
¡Aleluya! ¡Aleluya! (¡resucitó!)
¡Volviste, mi Jesús! ¡Volviste!
…aquel domingo… aquel domingo… se cumplió.
Closing reflection
Desde Isaías hasta el ladrón en la cruz, mi Jesús,
todo lo que anunciaste, en ese domingo se cumplió.
Y María, María, fue la primera en creer con toda Su alma
que la profecía no era promesa… era ya verdad.
Outro
…y cada Domingo de Pascua, mi Jesús,
yo también amanezco con Ella…
sintiendo que la profecía… se cumple otra vez.

The morning of the third day. The song is an open celebration, with shouted hallelujahs and the whole band, but it holds a care you notice when you read it slowly: it never says that She was the first to see her risen son. It says she was the first to believe. The distinction is deliberate and follows the biblical account, where the first to see is Mary Magdalene. The chorus moves from the general to the personal: first the prophecy was fulfilled, then it defeated every agony, and at the end my own life was born. From historical fact to what happens to the one singing.
- What it's about
- The Resurrection, and the Mother who was the first to believe.
- Its sound signature
- A full Easter band: drums, brass and voices shouting «Hallelujah!»
- The trick in the chorus
- «the prophecy was fulfilled» → «it defeated every agony» → «my own life was born»: from the foretold to the personal.
- Worth knowing
- It was rewritten to be strictly biblical. Mary Magdalene was the first to SEE (Mark 16:9); Mary the Mother, the first to BELIEVE. It echoes John 20:29: «blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed».
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most about this page. If something is missing, write to the address in the footer.
What is «Se cumplió la profecía» about?
About the morning of the third day, the Resurrection. It is an open celebration, with shouted alleluias and the whole band, bringing the light back right after the album's dark centre.
Does the song say Mary was the first to see the risen Jesus?
No, and the care is deliberate. It says she was the first to believe. The first to see the risen Christ was Mary Magdalene, according to Mark 16:9, and the track was rewritten expressly to respect that. The distinction is the difference between poetic licence and the truth.
How long is it and where does it sit on the album?
It runs 5:48 and is track 8 of the 10 on «La Virgen de Nazaret». Its ISRC is QT6FP2692526. It is the song that brings the light back after the album's darkest track.
What is this song's sonic signature?
A festive Easter band: drums, brass and voices shouting «¡Aleluya!». It is the album's biggest arrangement, deliberately placed right after its barest one.
How does the chorus change through the song?
It moves from the general to the personal: «Se cumplió la profecía» (the prophecy was fulfilled) → «venció toda agonía» (it overcame all agony) → «nació la vida mía» (my life was born). From the historical event to what happens to the one singing: the album takes hold of the event in three steps.
What does the echo of John 20:29 mean in this song?
«Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.» The whole song is built on that line: She needed no proof, and that is why the track insists she was the first to believe and not the first to see.
Why was the song rewritten?
To be biblically strict. The original version implied Mary was the first to see the risen Christ, which contradicts the gospel account. It was rewritten so that it says what is actually true: she was the first to believe.
Who is this song dedicated to?
To those who believe without having seen. In the author's words: if you are going through a long night and hold on to faith without anyone giving you a sign, this song is a celebration written in advance for your morning.
Does this song work for Easter Sunday?
It is the album's song written for that day. It is paired with «El día que Te dije adiós», the Good Friday one: together, in that order, they cover the passage from death to resurrection.
