Testo The Death Of Klinghoffer - Act II, Scene 2: Aria of the Falling Body - Kent Nagano, The London Opera Chorus & The Opera de Lyon
Testo della canzone The Death Of Klinghoffer - Act II, Scene 2: Aria of the Falling Body (Kent Nagano, The London Opera Chorus & The Opera de Lyon), tratta dall'album John Adams:The Death Of Klinghoffer
May the Lord God and his creation
Be magnified, be magnified in this solution
Nothing is lost
But the sea level has risen fast against the sea wall
After the war, in this part of town
Good furniture exposed to the rain
A good and warm bed
Malachite and brass were quickly stripped
And inlays were toothless
Locked bureau drawers had their locks broken
The souvenirs which would be taken
Fetched not a cent
As for the papers
No instrument could find the sleepers
Whose things these were
None of the damage
Water nor fire nor any outrage reported there
Came to their notice
As if secure in the Lord's justice
Empty-handed, but not hurriedly
They were minded to go far away
Empty-handed, but not hurriedly
They were minded to go far away
To go away, not to take action
To go away, not to take action
And so decay followed defection
Study the laws they celebrated
Knowing this house, the living and dead
It's over, it's done
The wife of the dead man
Say nothing to her
It's over, it's finished
As you wished
It was done by talk
Abu Kaleb spoke and you answered
He gave the word when you confirmed
That things were as they seemed
