[Slaves] |
|
With the sting of the whip on my shoulder |
|
With the salt of my sweat on my brow |
|
Elohim, God on high |
|
Can you hear your people cry: |
|
Help us now |
|
This dark hour... |
|
Deliver us |
|
Hear our call |
|
Deliver us |
|
Lord of all |
|
Remember us, here in this burning sand |
|
Deliver us |
|
There's a land you promised us |
|
Deliver us to the promised land... |
|
[Yocheved] |
|
Yal-di ha-tov veh ha-rach |
|
(My good and tender son) |
|
Al ti-ra veh al tif-chad |
|
(Don't be frightened and don't be scared) |
|
My son, I have nothing I can give |
|
But this chance that you may live |
|
I pray we'll meet again |
|
If He will deliver us |
|
[Slaves] |
|
Deliver us |
|
Hear our prayer |
|
Deliver us |
|
From despair |
|
These years of slavery grow |
|
Too cruel to stand |
|
Deliver us |
|
There's a land you promised us |
|
Deliver us |
|
Out of bondage and |
|
Deliver us to the promised land... |
|
[Yocheved] |
|
Hush now, my baby |
|
Be still, love, don't cry |
|
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream |
|
Sleep and remember my last lullaby |
|
So I'll be with you when you dream |
|
River, o river |
|
Flow gently for me |
|
Such precious cargo you bear |
|
Do you know somewhere |
|
He can live free? |
|
River, deliver him there... |
|
[Young Miriam] |
|
Brother, you're safe now |
|
And safe may you stay |
|
For I have a prayer just for you: |
|
Grow, baby brother |
|
Come back someday |
|
Come and deliver us, too... |
|
[Slaves] |
|
Deliver us |
|
Send a shepherd to shepherd us |
|
And deliver us to the promised land |
|
[Yocheved] |
|
Deliver us! |
