  Sometimes it is necessary and right
  for a man to die for a people.
  But a whole people must never die
  for a single man:
  remember this, Sepharad.
  Keep the bridge of dialogue secured
  and try to understand and love
  the different minds and tongues of all your children.
  Let the rain fall drop by drop on the fields
  and the air cross the ample fields
  like a soft, benevolent hand.
  Let Sepharad live forever
  in order and in peace, in work,
  and in difficult, hard_won
  liberty.
