“Lord, I cry out to you, listen
remember the voice of my prayer ”.
Psalm 140
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
to me with a star of truth in the constellation of lies.
Explain to me, how the earthly torment will end?
A series of boring days that drains to death?
Or is it that no one will ever know?
Guide me, guide me, guide me, guide me
to a world where the rains do not cry of sadness,
a world of smiles, funny and happy songs,
to a world where eternal happiness and tenderness are in the chest,
where my little world is interesting for everyone.
Protect me, protect me, protect me, protect me
of the vices that I will find along the way.
I am earthly and subject to material influence
Stay with me, help me walk the path
Help me not to shake my foundation!
Confirm me, confirm me, confirm me, confirm me
that I will still see you ahead.
All hope is in you, comfort is your word.
Take me out of earthly doubts,
and I will believe in happiness again, as in my youth.
