Chanson en anglais de Yaakov Shwekey, la star de la musique juive, dont voici les paroles :

A widow softly cries
And says her last goodbyes
Her partner, her soul mate has passed on
She stands alone forlorn
The time has come to mourn
The severing of their cherished lifelong bond

She knows his life was lived
To learn to grow to give
Each moment seized to serve his G-d on high
He yearned for nothing grand
But to help his fellow man
The will of his creator was foremost on his mind

Yet somehow she finds comfort,
It allows her heart to beat
She knows that in the world to come
His calling is complete
The heavens will embrace him and elevate his soul
For in that special world above
The righteous become whole

And though the pain she carries
Is etched upon her face
Her faith will vanquish darkness
Indeed peace can take its place
With the thought of his Neshomo
Soaring high unchained and free
Not for a day, a month, a year
But for all eternity

A mother softly cries
The worry in her eyes
A prayer for compassion moves her lips
A parent’s darkest fears
Descending in the tears
That stain the worn out pages in her fingertips

The ailing child asleep
Cannot hear her weep
Of things taken for granted every day
To frolic with one’s friends
To learn & comprehend
Or stand upon firm legs to run around and play

Yet somehow she finds comfort,
It allows her heart to beat
She knows that in the world to come
Her child will be complete
The heavens will embrace him
And elevate his soul
For in that special world above
The broken become whole
And though the pain she carries

Is etched upon her face
Her faith will vanquish darkness
Indeed peace can take its place
With the thought of his Neshomo
Soaring high unchained and free
Not for a day, a month, a year
But for all eternity

Who will cry and who will care
For our brethren unaware
Neither of G-d’s law nor of His love
No knowledge of His word
Commandments never heard
To bring their spirits closer to the One Above
