Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore" (Spanish: "Pescador de hombres", lit.'Fisher of Men'), in some versions "You Have Come to the Seashore", is a 1974 Spanish religious song by Cesáreo Gabaráin. It was translated into English by Gertrude C. Suppe, George Lockwood and Raquel Gutiérrez-Achon.[1]

"Barka" ('The Barge'), its Polish version, was Pope John Paul II's favourite song.[2] The Polish lyrics were written also in 1974 by Stanisław Szmidt, a Salesian of Don Bosco.[2]

In media

[edit]

The song is used in episode 6 of season 4 of the Netflix television series Money Heist.[3] In the Peruvian series Al fondo hay sitio, the family and neighbors of Diego Montalbán sing this song while his coffin was lowered, preparing to be buried alive.[4]
