"Let the children cum to me..." é um tema com música composta pelos Moonspell e letra escrita por Fernando Ribeiro presente no terceiro "longa duração" da banda portuguesa, "Sin/Pecado", editado em 1998.
A letra tem como tema central a crença cega no catolicismo ("... in one by one i do believe no matter how...") e os crimes associados à pedofilia praticados por quem representa a "palavra de deus" na Terra.
Num discurso muito claro, ainda que em língua inglesa, Fernando Ribeiro aborda uma problemática intimamente ligada à facção católica do cristianismo que tem incomodado crentes e não crentes nas últimas décadas, terminando o tema questionando qual o verdadeiro sentido da frase "Let the children come (cum?) to me..."
Infelizmente, 20 anos depois da edição do álbum, a questão que é colocada mantém a sua pertinência.
Letra:
Hey you little Jesus bride why have you smiled to me?
Hey you little Jesus bride why have you sang to me?
They say that God is inside us all, and sometimes He is
not in the way that I have preached for to wish to
but God is my lover and I love him too
He acts in mysterious ways
He has such mysterious shapes
- I know them all from inside out
and in one by one I do believe - no matter how
and They say the tongue who prays is the tongue which licks
and that the ones who kneel in four shall stand
to be loved by God without having the grace
to see who is behind them now, wearing God´s face
the Judgement day is not ever far away
but to how many did it came long before the puberty
Hey you little Jesus bride, why have you smiled to me?
Hey you little Jesus bride, why have you sang to me?
as they select themselves and cut in innocent flesh
what Jesus really meant by: "Let the children come to me..."
Hey you little Jesus bride, be my wife, be my wife...
