COME IN PEACE
 

Tziporey hatzafon kvar higiu mitarbel heavak bagva'ot
Achotenu haruach avra badrachim veanachnu tzmeim le'ot

Bo beshalom ahchorsha mazkira beterem chelka achrona tizara
Uveterem ugaf chalon ana shuv elenu besahlom


Bo beshalom niftachot chatzerot arachnu shulchan vehidlaknu nerot

Uveterem yushar mizmor nechake lecha shetachazor


Mitrapek ha'ezov al ha'even ketinok al imo haychida

Achotenu ahruach avra basadot vehageshem bechaf yada

Bo beshalom ahchorsha mazkira beterem chelka achrona tizara
Uveterem ugaf chalon ana shuv elenu besahlom

Bo beshalom niftachot chatzerot arachnu shulchan vehidlaknu nerot
Uveterem yushar mizmor nechake lecha shetachazor

Kochavim yeshabtzu et ha'ofek hayareach yashlim machsoro
Achotenu tifgosh batale ha'oved be'edna telatef tzamro

Bo beshalom ahchorsha mazkira beterem chelka achrona tizara
Uveterem ugaf chalon ana shuv elenu besahlom

Bo beshalom niftachot chatzerot arachnu shulchan vehidlaknu nerot
Uveterem yushar mizmor nechake lecha shetachazor

The birds of the North have arrived and the dust swirls in the hills
Hey sister, the wind passed the roads and we are thirsty for a sign.

Come in peace, the grove reminds us, before we plant the last piece of land
And before the window will shut, please, come to us in peace.

Come in peace the gates will open, we have set the table and lit the candles
And before we will sing  we'll wait until you come back.

The  moss wraps the stone like a baby it's only mum
Our sister, the wind has passed in the fields and the rain in the palm of her hand

The stars will be inlaid in the sky the moon will be full
Our sister will find the lost lamb and will fondle it's wool
