Sit Shiva Lyrics – Gabriel Kahane
Singer: Gabriel Kahane
Title: Sit Shiva
Sit Shiva LyricsMy mother, describing her mother
Fought back tears, it’s weird, I thought
The intimacy of seeing someone try
Not to cry in close-up on a screen
Cousin Lincoln told a story about the Pietà
He saw at the Metropolitan Museum;
And after a silence of some time
“You know, I think of myself as a Jew
But I really love Jesus.”
And we sit cross-legged on the edge of the bed
Leaning into the laptop to hear what’s just been said
In the manner of a modern family honoring the dеad
Aunt Susan, in her one-room schoolhouse
Sang grandma’s favoritе songs, simple hymns
Of love and loss. And though her connection
Was unstable, she was able to get
Her message, more or less, across
And we sit cross-legged on the edge of the bed
Leaning into the laptop to hear what’s just been said
In the manner of a modern family honoring the dead
At the end of the afternoon
Grandma’s grief-shattered husband
Whom she’d met in the fall of 1939
Milkshake at the Automat in Morningside Heights
Before he was shipped off to Europe to fight—
Fifty years, not a word, not a sight
“Raymond, it’s Judith; my husband has died.”
Back to New York, and they gave it a try
And the photographs of great-grandchildren multiplied
These two ancient lovers walking side by side—
His body ravaged, and hers turned to light—
He raised his hand to speak at last
And everyone held their breath or gasped
As he said, “Goodbye, my darling, goodbye.”

Sit Shiva – Terjemahan / Translation
Sit Shiva LyricsMy Mother, menggambarkan ibunya
Tebang air mata, itu aneh, saya pikir
Keintiman melihat seseorang mencoba
Tidak menangis di close-up di layar
Sepupu Lincoln menceritakan sebuah kisah tentang Pietà
Dia melihat di Museum Metropolitan;
Dan setelah keheningan beberapa waktu
“Kamu tahu, aku menganggap diriku sebagai seorang Yahudi
Tapi aku benar-benar mencintai Yesus. ”
Dan kami duduk bersila di tepi tempat tidur
Membungkuk ke laptop untuk mendengar apa yang baru saja dikatakan
Dengan cara keluarga modern yang menghormati diЕad
Bibi Susan, di sekolah satu kamarnya
Sang Nenek yang disukai lagu-lagu, Hymns Sederhana
Cinta dan kehilangan. Dan meskipun hubungannya
Tidak stabil, dia bisa mendapatkan
Pesannya, kurang lebih, di seberang
Dan kami duduk bersila di tepi tempat tidur
Membungkuk ke laptop untuk mendengar apa yang baru saja dikatakan
Dengan cara keluarga modern menghormati orang mati
Di akhir sore
Suami yang hancur nenek
Yang dia temui pada musim gugur 1939
Milkshake di automat di Morningside Heights
Sebelum dia dikirim ke Eropa untuk melawan-
Lima puluh tahun, bukan sepatah kata pun, bukan pemandangan
“Raymond, ini Judith; Suamiku sudah mati. ”
Kembali ke New York, dan mereka mencobanya
Dan foto-foto cicit buyut berlipat ganda
Dua kekasih kuno ini berjalan berdampingan
Tubuhnya hancur, dan miliknya berubah menjadi terang
Dia mengangkat tangan untuk berbicara akhirnya
Dan semua orang menahan napas atau tersentak
Seperti yang dia katakan, “selamat tinggal, sayangku, selamat tinggal.”
