daniel kahn - three sisters lyrics

Loading...

oh, draw won’t you please now
the indigo curtain
and doctors, administer me no more drugs
my creditors stand at my bed
i am certain
the silent ones
faith, esperanza and love
my creditors stand at my bed
i am certain
the silent ones
вера, надежда, любовь

“my time, it is short now
and soon i’ll be going
my pockets are empty
my debts unerased
oh, but aren’t there others
enough who are owing?
so, please, don’t you cry
my benevolent faith.”

then, weakly, and guilty
i turn to another
and i tenderly open my lips to her hand
“oh, please, don’t you cry
esperanza, my mother
your sons are yet myriad
throughout the land
yes, please, don’t you cry
esperanza, my mother
your sons are yet myriad
throughout the land.”

then to love my two empty hands
i do tender
and i hear her voice calling so softly to me
she says, “don’t you cry, boy
and always remember
i give of myself, in your honor
for free
the hands that have touched you
the fires that burned you
all your sins and your sorrows
you now can forget
for the slanderous tongues of the others
return to you
threefold in my ledgers
and settle your debt.”

and so purified, pure, and completely unworthy
i broke even as morning broke over the sea
three sisters, three wives, three judges of mercy
have granted the ultimate loan unto me
three sisters, three wives, three judges of mercy
have granted unlimited credit to me
