  • Esmeralda
  • I am esmeralda agrn, se? ora.
  • I know Ive no right to speak.
  • My son is not the savage boy you see,
  • The cape, the sneer, the slicked-back hair
  • It hides the child I nursed and bathed, se? ora.
  • Please dont turn your eyes from me
  • Your son, gone to god, and mine to blame
  • My fated son,
  • He too is gone
  • The state will see to that, I am sure, se? ora
  • The state will see to that, I am sure.
  • 1st mother
  • You spanish people, you come to this country
  • Nothing here changes your lives
  • Ungrateful immigrants asking for pity
  • When all of your answers are knives
  • This city makes a cartoon of a crime
  • Capes and umbrellas the glorification of slime
  • I have to face this horror, se? ora.
  • 2nd mother
  • My religion
  • Asks me to pray for the murderers soul
  • But I think youd have to be
  • Jesus on the cross
  • To open your heart after such a loss
  • Can I forgive him?
  • Can I forgive him?
  • No, I cannot
  • Can I forgive him
  • No, I cannot
  • Friends become strangers
  • Compassion is hard to express in words
  • The trembling flowers they bring
  • Fear in the roots and the stem
  • What happened to me they know could happen to them.
  • Can I forgive him
  • No, I cannot
  • Can I forgive him
  • No
  • Esmeralda
  • Only God can say forgive
  • His son too received a knife
  • But we go on, we have to live
  • With this cross we call our life
  • 1st mother
  • Feels like a bomb fell
  • And wave after wave come the aftershocks
  • 2nd mother
  • You cant believe that its true
  • There must be some mistake
  • You drift through this nightmare from which you cant wake
  • Both mothers
  • Can I forgive him?
  • Can I forgive him,
  • No, I cannot
  • Can I forgive him?
  • Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
  • Can I forgive him?
  • Can I forgive him, no, I cannot
  • Can I forgive him
  • No, I cannot.
  • Lead vocal, acoustic guitar-paul simon
