Esmeralda's Prayer
I have never learnt to prayIs that a good start?
Will You listen to a gypsy girl,
A Bohemian?
I am shunned everywhere
They remain far from me
I can see Your face and ask You
Are You too so rejected?
God, help the outcast
The dirt of the street
Grant your mercy
For there is none here
God, help my people
You made us in Your image
If You do not help us,
Then no one will
I ask for money
I ask for strength
I ask for wealth
Possessions and power
I ask for gold
My purse is empty
I ask God
And his angels for their blessing
I ask for no wealth
I ask for nothing for myself
I know so many
With less than us
The poor, the gypsies
I pray for them
Outcast of the earth
The children of God
Are we not all
The children of God?
