La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
The battle is over
My soul will soon be free
So bring me some wine
And listen to me
Because my life was, oh, so long
This is the heart of the song
It's just a simple story
Sing and remember me
I was born in a village
My father didn't carry a sword
But my fate was different:
Darkness enshrined this world
I spent my life in a fight
Under pressure of my own pride
Women and songs, friends and wine
So I have lived, so I die
I feel closing darkness
I feel so cold
My time is over
So much blood, so little hope
But my life was, oh, so long
And I've longed to die with a song
Please women, don't cry
Don't say Farewell - say Goodbye.
Say Goodbye, baby.
