Fouad Ammanuel - Kalo Khishanta

I turned towards the church door, and a fire ignited in my heart
My beloved was dressed in white, receiving a blessing at the entrance
I turned to gaze upon her face, to admire the beauty of her eyes
Even if it is for the final time, as I am overwhelmed with grief and sorrow

Inside this church in our village, they gathered to tear us apart
Inside this church in our village, they gathered to tear us apart
They built a wall across our path, and the sun of our love set
They built a wall across our path, and the sun of our love set

--

The people are joyous and singing, while the priests tie the holy blessing
If she does not feel this truth, our lives will turn into hell
My sweet beloved has no choice left, as tears stream down from her eyes
Deep sorrow is hidden in her face, and burning embers ignite within my heart

How I wish I were only dreaming, so that I could simply awaken from this sleep
How I wish I were only dreaming, so that I could simply awaken from this sleep
Oh mother, I wish I could sleep in death, to escape from this bitter life
Oh mother, I wish I could sleep in death, to escape from this bitter life
