Oh dreadful hour

Of darkness and rain

Bring us protection

And life to the grain

-

Oh painful misery

By which we hate and we fight

Make the next horizon visible

From the dead of the night

-

Oh sorrowful person

With pain in your heart

Find joy in your soul

A passionate new start

-

Oh softly wound veins

Spraying blood like perfume

Paint me some pretty

Red roses in Bloom

-

Oh terrible world

Of hunger and war

Bring us the justice

We’ve sat sick waiting for

-

Oh dreadful hour

Of darkness and rain

Bring us protection

And life to the grain
