אנא אלי [Ana Eli] [English translation]

Please God, if my time has come

Before I go, I ask of You

But not for me, for I've had enough

For my knees had failed and my soul is tired

For on my stalk, soft buds grow

Have mercy, assist and guard them from evil

I shall be their penance,

You shall be their pain

Be with them

For You know, my good God

That all my life I've asked You of good

But I had none

And even You have left me now and my end is near

But my beloved baby birds

Give them strength and cherish them, fill all that is missing and never let go

I shall be their penance,

You shall be their pain

Be with them
