The Good Shepherd. Pete's Song.
Verse 1:
Shepherd, who with your loving whistles
Awakened me from a deep sleep;
You, who made a staff of this wood
On which you stretch out your powerful arms:
Turn your eyes to my pious faith,
For I confess you as my love and owner
And I commit my word to follow you
Your sweet whistles and your beautiful feet.
Chorus:
Listen, Shepherd, who dies for love,
Do not be frightened by the rigor of my sins,
For you are so fond of the surrendered.
Wait, then, and listen to my cares --
But how can I tell you to wait for me
If you are waiting for my nailed feet?
Verse 2:
To faint, to dare, to be furious,
Rough, tender, liberal, elusive,
Encouraged, deadly, deceased, alive,
Loyal, treacherous, cowardly and courageous:
Not find outside the good center and rest,
Appear happy, sad, humble, arrogant,
Angry, brave, fugitive,
Satisfied, offended, suspicious.
Chorus:
Listen, Shepherd, who dies for love,
Do not be frightened by the rigor of my sins,
For you are so fond of the surrendered.
Wait, then, and listen to my cares --
But how can I tell you to wait for me
If you are waiting for my nailed feet?
Verse 3:
To faint, to dare, to be furious,
Rough, tender, liberal, elusive,
Encouraged, deadly, deceased, alive,
Loyal, treacherous, cowardly and courageous:
Not find outside the good center and rest,
Appear happy, sad, humble, arrogant,
Angry, brave, fugitive,
Satisfied, offended, suspicious.
Bridge:
Fleeing the face to the clear disappointment,
Drink poison for soft liquor,
Forget the profit, love the harm:
Believe that heaven fits in hell;
Give life and soul to a disappointment,
This is Love! Who tried it knows.
Chorus:
Listen, Shepherd, who dies for love,
Do not be frightened by the rigor of my sins,
For you are so fond of the surrendered.
Wait, then, and listen to my cares --
But how can I tell you to wait for me
If you are waiting for my nailed feet?
