《The Little Hebrew Girl》歌词

[00:00:01] The Little Hebrew Girl - Stephin Merritt

[00:00:06] The little hebrew girl

[00:00:09] Heard her mother's dying wish:

[00:00:13] "don't become christian

[00:00:16] Just be jewish

[00:00:20] Honor our tradition

[00:00:23] Of denying god above

[00:00:26] Heed the pigeon of religion

[00:00:29] And ignore the dove of love "

[00:00:39] The little hebrew girl

[00:00:42] Was a maid for calvinists

[00:00:46] She read in the gospel:

[00:00:48] Jesus exists

[00:00:53] Yet she still persisted

[00:00:55] In her tribal sacrilege

[00:00:58] She would nix the crucifixion

[00:01:01] Always dredging up her pledge

[00:01:07] "mama

[00:01:09] I love you "

[00:01:31] The little hebrew girl

[00:01:34] Having lived her fleeting time

[00:01:38] Rested near the churchyard

[00:01:41] Where the bells chime

[00:01:44] Promising we'll climb that

[00:01:47] Final day to peter's gate

[00:01:50] Maybe she can hear them ringing

[00:01:53] Maybe death is not too late

[00:01:59] "mama

[00:02:02] I love you "
