Im nin'alu daltei n'divim - daltei marom lo nin'alu: If the doors of the wealthy are locked, the doors of Heaven will never be locked.
If there be no mercy left in the world, The doors of heaven will never be barred. The Creator reigns supreme, and is higher than the angels All, in His spirit, will rise
By His nearness, His life-giving breath flows through them. And they glory in His name From the moment of genesis, His creations grow, Captivating and more beautiful.
The wheel in his circle thunders Acclaiming His Holy name Clothed in the glory of His radiance, The six-winged cherubs surround Him, Whirling in His honor And with their free wings sweetly sing, Together, in unison
Im nin'alu daltei n'divim Daltei marom lo nin'alu El Chai, mareimawm al kawruvim Kulawm b'rucho ya'alu El Chai
Ki hem elai kis'o kawruvim Yodu sh'mei weihal'lu Chayet shehem rotzeh washawvim Miyom b'ri'aw nichlawlu El Chai
Uv'shesh kanufayim s'vivim Awfim b'eit yitjaljelu
Im nin'alu daltei n'divim Daltei marom lo nin'alu El Chai, mareimawm al kawruvim Kulawm b'rucho ya'alu El Chai
If I look at the crystal moon At the red branch of the slow autumn at my window If I touch near the fire the impalpable ash Or the wrinkled body of the log Everything carries me to you As if everything that exists - aromas, light, metals Were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me
Well, now If little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you Little by little If suddenly you forget me Do not look for me For I shall already have forgotten you
If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life And you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots
Remember That on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms And my roots will set off to seek another land
But, if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me With implacable sweetness If each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me Ahh my love, ahh my own, in me all that fire is repeated In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten My love feeds on your love, beloved And as long as you live, it will be in your arms without leaving mine (Pablo Neruda)
In my hallucination I saw my beloved's flower garden In my vertigo, in my dizziness In my drunken haze Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence I was there in the beginning And I was the spirit of love Now I am sober There is only the hangover And the memory of love And only the sorrow
I yearn for happiness I ask for help I want mercy And my love says:
Bedtime Stories (1994) Today Is the last day That I'm using words They've gone out Lost their meaning Don't function anymore
Let's get unconscious honey
Today, is the last day That I'm using words They've gone out, lost their meaning Don't function anymore
Traveling, leaving logic and reason Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness Traveling, leaving logic and reason Traveling, to the arms of unconsciousness
Let's get unconscious honey Let's get unconscious Let's get unconscious honey Let's get unconscious
Words are useless Especially sentences They don't stand for anything How could they explain how I feel
Traveling, traveling, I'm traveling Traveling, traveling, leaving logic and reason Traveling, traveling, I'm gonna relax Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness...
Let's get unconscious honey Let's get unconscious Let's get unconscious honey Let's get unconscious
And inside We're all still wet Longing and yearning How can I explain how I feel?
Traveling, traveling Traveling, traveling Traveling, traveling, in the arms of unconsciousness
And all that you ever learned Try to forget I'll never explain again
There's only so much you can learn in one place The more that I wait, the more time that I waste
I haven't got much time to waste, it's time to make my way I'm not afraid of what I'll face, but I'm afraid to stay I'm going down my own road and I can make it alone I'll work and I'll fight til I find a place of my own
Chorus:
Are you ready to jump Get ready to jump Don't ever look back, oh baby Yes, I'm ready to jump Just take my hands Get ready to jump
We learned our lesson from the start, my sisters and me The only thing you can depend on is your family And life's gonna drop you down like the limbs of a tree It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see
Chorus2:
Are you ready to jump Get ready to jump Don't ever look back, oh baby Yes, I'm ready to jump Just take my hands Get ready to, are you ready
(Spoken:) There's only so much you can learn in one place The more that you wait, the more time that you waste
I'll work and I'll fight til I find a place of my own It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own
I can make it alone I can make it alone I can make it alone [my sisters and me] I can make it alone [my sisters and me]
