“Granito de Mostaza”
(aka The Mustard Seed Song, aka Let the Mountains Move)
I learned this song from my friends in Cuba, and loved it so much I wanted to record my own arrangement. I LOVE the groove of this song! Pardon my Spanish, please. The translation is: “If you would have the faith of a seed of mustard, this, the Lord tells you: You could tell the mountains to move, move, move, and those mountains would move.” I’m on guitars, bass, percussion and vocals. I hope you enjoy my arrangement below.
My association with this song came from my experience with the “Patio Projects” in Cuba, a successful and growing effort to help communities and individuals turn wasted spaces into gardens and growing spaces, providing food, medicine, and turning lives around in the process.
I’ve been there and seen it in person, and there’s a lot we can learn from them. Learn more about the Patio Projects in this video.

Lyrics:
Si tuvieras fe como un granito de mostaza, eso lo dice el Señor
Si tuvieras fe como un granito de mostaza, eso lo dice el Señor
Tu le dirías a asea montaña, muévete, muévete
Tu le dirías a asea montaña, muévete, muévete
Y esa montaña se moverá, se moverá, se moverá
Y esa montaña se moverá, se moverá, se moverá
Y esa montaña se moverá, se moverá, se moverá
Se está moviendo ya
Esa montaña se moverá
