Beethoven and Rachel

The dialect of Bonn, hills are amazing,
Green grass above the slopes of the Rhine river.
Beethoven is in love with tender Rachel
And he hurries to meeting her in Vienna.

But life turns out to be too sad this May.
Her family is Jewish, she confessed.
And that's the reason - her father forbade
To marry Gentiles even if love flames.

The world is full of mutual accusations,
He offers with him secretly to flee,
And quit her people. But she sticks to nation -
"Oh leave me poor, farewell to thee!"

In last quartet, song "Kol Nidrei" is heard
It is the sound of Jewish repentance.
On destiny and on the choice of soul -
The last letter of her excruciation.
