INGLESE / ENGLISH [5]
SONG OF SHALOMTHE SONG OF PEACE
Let the sun rise in the east,
and light the morning sky
The finest prayers will not revive
the ones who had to die.
Let the sun rise up today,
Oh let the morning dawn,
All your prayers and all your
please
Won't give us life again.
And those whose flames have been put out,
lie buried in the earth,
Bitter wails won't wake them up,
cannot give them rebirth.
Now our candle's flickered out,
Now we're turned to dust,
Bitter tears won't bring us back,
Or wake us from our rest.
No one can restore us now,
return us from the grave.
And here there is no use for songs of victory
and praises for the brave.
You can never bring us back.
In the dark we lie. No help for us from
All the songs of triumph you sing,
And the hymns of victory!
Chorus:
So go and sing a song of Shalom -
don't whisper timid prayers.
Go out and shout a song of Shalom -
so everyone can hear.
Just sing for peace, just shout it – shalom,
Don't murmur like a prayer,
Just sing to peace, just sing it aloud
Let voices ring out here!
Let the sunshine weave its way
through rainbow blooms of flowers.
Don't look back towards the past -
the dead no longer ours.
Let the sunshine filter in
Through the flowering wreaths,
Move ahead and don't look back
At those who lie beneath.
Lift your eyes with hope of life,
not sighting through a gun.
Sing a song of love and joy
and not of battles won.
Raise your eyes in hope once more,
Don't gaze through rifle sights.
Sing a song to peace and love,
And not to war and fights.
Don't just say "A day will come";
go out and bring that day!
It's not a dream. In all the city streets and squares,
sing "Peace is on its way!"
Don't just say – the day is night,
Help to bring it near. This is no dream now,
And in all the city streets
Just sing it loud and clear
ChorusJust sing for peace, just shout it – shalom,
Don't murmur like a prayer,
Just sing to peace, just sing it aloud
Let voices ring out here!
