It happened in the springtime, 
when kings go out to war 
And I was staying in Yerushalayim, 
Far from perils of the sword... 
And it was in the evening 
As the story will unfold- 
That's when I first, your mother did behold...

I don't know what came over me, 
Her face was pale as the mountain snow, 
My life, my kingdom, and your future throne- 
I wagered more than you'll ever know, ever know...

So I inquired of the girl I admire 
Tell me her name! 
As I watched her from a distance. 
And when they told me, 
"She's the wife of Uriah the Hittite" 
they claimed- 
As if that would make a difference

I don't know what came over me, 
Uriah's life stood in my way; 
A wife, for the life of another man, 
Was to be the price I would pay

HaShem- 
You are the only one- 
Against you have I done this wrong 
Excuses there for scholars to see 
You did not approve of what was in me

So it was in my darkest hour 
when Nathan did appear- 
Fell down on my knees and I begged HaShem 
my please to hear 
And it was in the evening, 
the consequence severe 
That's what brought your mother to me, 
the love of all my years.

I go the way of all the earth 
So you must be strong, 
Show yourself a man 
Deal wisely with those who have done me wrong 
To you the throne of my Kingdom belongs...
