| Esmeralda | |
| I am esmeralda agr鏮, se?ora. | |
| I know i've 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 don't 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 murderer's soul | |
| But i think you'd 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 can't believe that it's true | |
| There must be some mistake | |
| You drift through this nightmare from which you can't 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. | |
