THREE SISTERS - ТРИ СЕСТРЫ

Oh draw won't you please now the indigo curtain?
And doctors, administer me no more drugs
My creditors stand at my bed, I am certain
The silent ones: Faith, Esperanza, and Love

My time it is short now and I soon I'll be going
My pockets are empty, my debts un-erased
But aren't there others enough who are owing?
So please do not cry, benevolent Faith

So weakly and guilty, I turn to another
And tenderly open my lips to her hand
Please do not cry, Esperanza my mother
Your sons are yet myriad throughout the land

Then to Love my two empty hands I do tender
And hear her voice calling so softly to me
She says: do not cry, and always remember
I give of myself in your honor for free

The hands that have touched you, the fires that burned you
All your sins and your sorrows, you now can forget
For the slanderous tongues of the others returned you
Threefold in my ledgers and settled your debt

So, purified, pure, and completely unworthy
I broke even as morning broke over the sea
Three sisters, three wives, three judges of mercy
Have granted one ultimate loan unto me
Three sisters, three wives, three judges of mercy
Have granted unlimited credit to me
