Philip Glass - Einstein on the Beach (Knee 5) with Lyrics

I really like this song and I tried to find the lyrics on the web but I couldn't,
so I decided to write them all and translate them into my language (spanish).

I'm sorry for the mistakes.

I definetely find the correct lyrics of the song (thanks to a comment below):
The day with its cares and perplexities is ended and the night is now upon us. The night should be a time of peace and tranquility, a time to relax and be calm. We have need of a soothing story to banish the disturbing thoughts of the day, to set at rest our troubled minds, and put at ease our ruffled spirits.

And what sort of story shall we hear? Ah, it will be a familiar story, a story that is so very, very old, and yet it is so new. It is the old, old story of love.

Two lovers sat on a park bench, with their bodies touching each other, holding hands in the moonlight.

There was silence between them. So profound was their love for each other, they needed no words to express it. And so they sat in silence, on a park bench, with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.

Finally she spoke. "Do you love me, John?" she asked. "You know I love you, darling," he replied. "I love you more than tongue can tell. You are the light of my life, my sun, moon and stars. You are my everything. Without you I have no reason for being."

Again there was silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench, their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight. Once more she spoke. "How much do you love me, John?" she asked. He answered: "How much do I love you? Count the stars in the sky. Measure the waters of the oceans with a teaspoon. Number the grains of sand on the sea shore. Impossible, you say."

"Yes and it is just as impossible for me to say how much I love you."

"My love for you is higher than the heavens, deeper than Hades, and broader than the earth. It has no limits, no bounds. Everything must have an ending except my love for you."

There was more of silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.

Once more her voice was heard. "Kiss me, John," she implored. And leaning over, he pressed his lips warmly to hers in fervent osculation.

I'm a modern dancer and when I marry my boyfriend of 4 .5 years (whose name is ironically John) I plan on playing this and choreographing a piece to it. I don’t know if I could keep from crying when I dance it though – it’s a beautiful song.

@Nahar360 you only have the ending half of the song where is the beginning 4 minutes the song is supposed to be 8 minutes long....

[Nahar360]

@Magoo1502 i know that the song is 8 minutes long, but the first 4 minutes don't have any word, so i decided to cut the song and put only this part. =P

Um dia um garoto me mandou essa , eu me apaixonei pela letra, nada mais perfeito do que essa letra, eu acreditava que o nosso amor era mais perfeita q a letra da música, mais tarde vi que eu estava enganada e hoje ao ouvir essa musica dói tanto dentro de mim....Mais a letra é muito linda , eu não me canso de falar nem de ouvir :(

Oh, c'mmon! This is so ironic! It's beautiful piece of music indeed and I can't stop pushing the replay button but for me it IS NOT serious... just for laugh about it.
