One Evening

One evening

they bound you to the cross.

They drove nails into you,

they drove nails into my entrails;

they bound your eyes,

they bound my soul.

One evening

they tore me in two.

They robbed me of my sight

they took my touch away

they left me only my hearing

so I could hear you, my son.

One evening

like the golden eagle

he soared over the seas

he soared over the fields

he made the mountains bloom 

and all people rejoice.
