[00:03.630] | I asked my father, |
[00:06.570] | I said, "Father change my name." |
[00:12.050] | The one I'm using now it's covered up |
[00:14.210] | with fear and filth and cowardice and shame. |
[00:17.960] | |
[00:21.240] | Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me, |
[00:29.780] | yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. |
[00:36.200] | |
[00:38.360] | He said, "I locked you in this body, |
[00:41.550] | I meant it as a kind of trial. |
[00:46.920] | You can use it for a weapon, |
[00:49.890] | or to make some woman smile." |
[00:54.840] | |
[00:55.360] | Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me, |
[01:04.110] | yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. |
[01:10.470] | |
[01:12.640] | "Then let me start again," I cried, “ |
[01:14.590] | "please let me start again, “ |
[01:21.060] | I want a face that's fair this time, |
[01:24.560] | I want a spirit that is calm." |
[01:27.350] | |
[01:29.950] | Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me, |
[01:38.440] | yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. |
[01:45.140] | |
[01:47.020] | "I never never turned aside," he said, “ |
[01:50.330] | "I never walked away. “ |
[01:55.490] | It was you who built the temple, |
[01:58.030] | it was you who covered up my face." |
[02:01.820] | |
[02:04.220] | Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me, |
[02:12.660] | yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover come back to me. |
[02:19.540] | |
[02:21.250] | And may the spirit of this song, |
[02:25.020] | may it rise up pure and free. |
[02:29.670] | May it be a shield for you, |
[02:32.860] | a shield against the enemy. |
[02:37.820] | |
