This night is irredeemableA
Where you are it is still brightB
At the gates of JerusalemC
a black sun is alightB
-
The yellow sun is hurtingD
sleep baby sleepE
The Jews in the Temple s burningD
buried my mother deepE
-
Without rabbi without blessingD
over her ashes thereF
the Jews in the Temple s burningD
chanted the prayerF
-
Over this motherG
Israel s voice was sungH
I woke in a glittering cradleA
lit by a black sunI
