《Can I Forgive Him》歌词

[00:00:00] Can I Forgive Him - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)

[00:00:06] I am Esmeralda Agron senora

[00:00:15] I know I've no right to speak

[00:00:25] My son is not the savage boy you see

[00:00:36] The cape the sneer the slicked back hair

[00:00:46] Hides the child I nursed and bathed senora

[00:00:54] Please don't turn your eyes from me

[00:01:04] Your son gone to god and mine to blame

[00:01:16] My fated son he too is gone

[00:01:26] The state will see to that I am sure senora

[00:01:34] The state will see to that I am sure

[00:01:51] You Spanish people you come to this country

[00:01:55] But nothing here changes your lives

[00:02:02] Ungrateful immigrants asking for pity

[00:02:06] When all of your answers are knives

[00:02:11] This city makes a cartoon of a crime

[00:02:20] Capes and umbrellas the glorification of slime

[00:02:31] I have to face this horror senora

[00:02:39] My religion asks me to pray for the murderer's soul

[00:02:57] But I think you'd would have to be Jesus on the cross

[00:03:05] To open your heart and after such a loss

[00:03:13] Can I forgive him

[00:03:17] Can I forgive him

[00:03:19] No I cannot

[00:03:25] Can I forgive him

[00:03:27] No I cannot

[00:03:31] Friends become strangers

[00:03:38] Compassion is hard to express in words

[00:03:48] The trembling flowers they bring

[00:03:51] Fear in the roots and the stem

[00:03:55] What happened to me they know could happen to them

[00:04:03] Can I forgive him

[00:04:05] No I cannot

[00:04:11] Can I forgive him

[00:04:13] No

[00:04:19] Only god can say forgive

[00:04:26] His son too received a knife

[00:04:33] But we go on we have to live

[00:04:42] With this cross we call our life

[00:04:49] It feels like a bomb fell

[00:04:57] And wave after wave come the after shocks

[00:05:07] You can't believe that it's true

[00:05:11] There must be some mistakes

[00:05:14] You drift through this nightmare

[00:05:16] From which you can't wake

[00:05:22] Can I forgive him

[00:05:26] Can I forgive him

[00:05:27] No I cannot

[00:05:33] Can I forgive him

[00:05:37] Can I forgive him

[00:05:39] No I cannot

[00:05:44] Can I forgive him

[00:05:48] Can I forgive him
