[English]
My God My God
Tell her I'm on my way
Let the morning come quickly
And let the night fall
Slowly
My God My God
Tell her I bring her the moon
And the longing for her hug
In her arms against the rain
She was coming from so far And the light she carried
They were petals of a father It was the beginning of life
Another angel will be born
Take me home
In the shadow of your fear
The two like courage
The two like a secret
Wing me along
Light up a bright sky
The two like a journey
Inside your hidden side
Take me home
Make me your beginning
My God, My God,
Tell her I will never lose myself,
The river is deep and I'm alone,
I'll find her wherever she is.
My God, My God,
What’s hiding behind the door?
Her promised kiss
Or the bells of rebellion?
She was coming from so far,
And she was asking me so close
They were petals of a father,
It was the beginning of life,
Another angel will be born.
Take me home
In the shadow of your fear,
The two like courage,
The two like a secret.
Wing me along
Light up a bright sky
The two like a journey
Inside your hidden side,
Take me home
Make me
Your beginning.
Take me home
In the shadow of your fear
The two like courage
The two like your secret beginning.
Wing me along
Light up a bright sky
The two like a journey
Inside your hidden side
Take me home
Make me
Your beginning...
