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.
