Jorge Drexler milonga del moro judio

Select language to translate this lyric

For every wall a lament
In Jerusalem the golden one
And a thousand wasted lives
For every commandment
I am dust of your wind
And although I bleed from your wound
And every dear stone
Keep my deepest love
There is not a stone in the world
That is worth what a life
I am a Jewish Moor
Who lives with Christians
I don't know which God is mine
Nor who my brothers are
There is no dead person that doesn't hurt me
There is no winning side
There is no more pain
And another life that is blown away
War is a very bad school
It doesn't matter what disguise you wear you saw
Forgive me for not enlisting
Under no flag
Any chimera is better than a sad piece of cloth
I am a Jewish Moor
Who lives with Christians
I don't know which God is mine
Nor who my brothers are
And I didn't give anyone permission
To kill in my name
A man is nothing more than a man
And if there is a God, that is how he wanted it
The same ground that I walk on
It will continue , I will have gone
Also headed for oblivion
There is no doctrine that does not go
And there is no people that has not
Created chosen people
I am a Jewish Moor
Who lives with Christians
I don't know which God is mine
Nor who are my brothers
