ברית עולם [Brit Olam] [English translation]
ברית עולם [Brit Olam] [English translation]
In an instant we
Join as one body,
Your hand you gave to me
To hold in mine eternally.
You’re my guide
When I fear inside,
So I cannot hide
How tonight I tremble.
Day, day and night, without fail
We travail our one
Uncharted trail.
Day, day and night, nothing else –
As one or apart –
Faithful to you, to myself.
Tonight, I love you sadly, and together we’ll yearn,
Tonight, I love you madly, and our passion will burn,
‘Til we learn, True concern, Always hoping, To return.
By and by,
Patiently we’ll spy,
Hints of you and I,
And perhaps we’ll learn to prize
Compromise
To see through each’s eyes
‘Til all that survives
Is the love between us.
Day, day and night, without fail
We travail our one
Uncharted trail.
Day, day and night, nothing else –
As one or apart –
Faithful to you, to myself.
Tonight, I love you sadly, and together we’ll yearn,
Tonight, I love you madly, and our passion will burn,
‘Til we learn, True concern, Always hoping, To return.
Time has come,
Soon we’ll see the sun,
And I’m feeling drunk…
All I ask is that you must
Guard this trust,
Until days are done,
Until we succumb
And the final beat has drummed.
