[Verse 1]
A last prayer before obeying
To nature of things and to our fathers
Before leaving
Just another life saved from forgetfulness
Graved well better than with a sword
In Abraham's memory

[Chorus]
Long the waiting of the hour
Heavy the sadness in our hearts
But so great our love and faith
And difficult to understand you sometimes

[Verse 2]
What'll be tomorrow our destines far away
A little of peace of love and of bread
In the middle of your hands

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Lead our children for the end of the times
Full of more joys than tears
Abraham's memory
