Sad Songs Say So Much

The following song was written by Haim Cheffer in memory of Emil Gruenzweig, murdered at a Peace Now rally outside the Knesset 12 years ago. It was recorded by the Dudaim, and the translation is by Ariel Brosh.

And in the endless love in me;
and with the justice that in me,
And with the ever biggest hopes;
And in the moral in my heart
that's higher way of all the false,
today I swear just that:

Even if the journey is the longest,
and even if many fall behind,
together we'll just continue
go forward to the light......

And when I wake and when I go
and call for peace among the war;
In front of those who hear my whine;
In front of those who want their blood;
With those that's going in my way
between the fist of hatery,
today I swear just that:

Even...

And in my life, and in my death,
With the ordeal of all the wars;
And with the graves that in my land
And with the mentioning of the souls;
My family, your family,
in front of the fragments of the dreams
today I swear just that:

Even...
