Kol shanah matchilah besiman she'elah

Ze niflah sheshanah matchilah la
Beshir u'veruach tovah
Kol shanah matchilah bessiman she'elah
Va'anachnu nimtzah la tshuvah
Kol shniyah matchilah besiman she'elah
Ve lifnei shetashiv hi tachmok
Kmo lituf ruach yam

PIZMON |
Every year begins with a question mark
Like a baby who measures its steps
Like a sunrise that appears
above the blue Kineret*
Facing the western sky.
Every hour begins with a question mark
Like the heart that beats rhythmically
Like a greenish stalk that sprouts slowly
Facing the high mountaintops.
REFRAIN
It is wonderful that the year begins
With song and good spirits
Every year begins with a question mark
And we will find its answers.
Every second begins with a question mark
And before you answer, it escapes
Like the caress of the sea wind
that appears from somewhere
Whose melody will be heard from afar.
