Liverpool Oratorio Movement 4: Father [Dutch translation]

[Chorus (mourners)] ...............................................video from 31.57

Father, Father

Father, Father

[CHIEF MOURNER]

O Father, you have given

Time to your children

You will look after

Those in your care

[WOMEN'S Chorus (mourners)]

We beg you

Look after us

Father, Father

[CHIEF MOURNER]

Father

[WOMEN'S Chorus]

Into the future

In ever-growing circles

[CHIEF MOURNER]

You will be there

And your spirit will keep us moving

In the right direction

[FULL Chorus (mourners)]

(Ah)

O Father, you have given

Time to your children

You will look after

Those in your care

Into the future

In ever-growing circles

You will be there

[CHIEF MOURNER]

And your spirit will keep us moving

In the right direction

[SHANTY]

Hey, wait a minute

You didn't tell me

I fell into a place

I didn't wanna go

It doesn't matter

I swear

I'll never go through another of those things

In my life

You should have warned me Of all the dangers

But maybe there were some things you just didn't know

But you're my father

And surely fathers ought to know about most things

In this life

Don't tell me

I thought you were the best

You were only human

And a lot like all the rest

Like me you were fragile

Not secure

With the fast tide of life

That would speed past your door

[Chorus (mourners)]

Father, Father, Father

[BOYS and Chorus]

Toti mundo nati

[Chorus]

Father

(Ah)

[SHANTY]

I forgive you

Will you forgive me?

[CHIEF MOURNER]

You will be there

[CHIEF MOURNER and Chorus]

And your spirit will keep us moving

In the right direction
