Chorus:
Vehu yoshev umechakeh lo
Kvar shanim cholem hu sheyizkeh lo,
al sodo shomer umechakeh lo
matai kvar yagi'ah hayom?

ON HIS PALMS HE WILL BRING
Verse 1
On our narrow street
there lives a strange carpenter.
He sits in his hut
and doesn't do a thing.
No one comes to buy,
and no one comes to visit,
and it's been two years
since he's done any carpentry.
And he carries but one dream in his heart
to build a throne for Elijah who will come,
on the palms of his hands he will bring it,
to Elijah the Prophet.
Chorus:
And he sits and waits for him
for years he's been dreaming he will be worthy
he guards his secret and awaits him
When will the day come?
Verse 2
On our narrow street
there lives a strange shoemaker.
he sits in his hut
and doesn't do a thing.
His empty shelves
are covered with dust.
For two years has his awl
has been sitting in a sack.
And he dreams that he'd make a pair of shoes
to be worn on the feet of the Herald,
on the palms of his hands he will carry them,
To Elijah the Prophet.
Chorus:
And he sits and waits for him
for years he's been dreaming he will be worthy
he guards his secret and awaits him
When will the day come?
Verse 3
In Jerusalem there is
a man entirely not young,
he built many houses
in all corners of the city.
He knows each alley,
every street and neighborhood,
He builds the city
for seventy years already.
And he dreams that just as he built the city
he will lay the cornerstone of the Holy Temple.
On the palms of his hands he will bring it
to Elijah the Prophet.
Chorus:
And he sits and waits for him
for years he's been dreaming he will be worthy
he guards his secret and awaits him
When will the day come?
