Verse 1
Ani velibi bamidbar hashemesh
ve'ani kmo shney achim
Kol halayla hayareach yoshev al ha'ar
vehashamayim hem sade shel prachim

Ani velibi bamidbar haruach
vekoli nachim
Ben edrey habakar vesichey hatzabar
Mul hashvilim haen sofi'yim

Reuven lo mitlonen Reuven lo mitatzben
Reuven lo mitlonen Rruven lo mitatzben
Reuven mitkaven beshalva lehizdaken
Legalgel supurim veshirim velishmoa shrikot adarim

Ani velibi bamidbar vechol hazman sheba'olam sheli
Bishvil ma shelo asiti hayom yesh machar
Ad or haboker anagen bachalili
Ani velibi bamidbar lelo shum kehuna lelo malchut
Rak echad ben shavim ben tresar
Ve'et chayai kan a'avir bekalut

Verse 1
My heart and I are in the desert the sun
and I am like two brothers
The moon sits on the mountain all night
and the skies are a field of flowers

My heart and I are in the desert
my voice is resting with the wind
Among the cattle herd and the prickly pear bushes
Opposite the endless paths

Reuven doesn't complain and doesn't get nervous
Reuven doesn't complain and doesn't get nervous
He intends to grow old in peace
To tell stories and poems and to listen to the herd whistle

My heart and I are in the desert and I have all the time in the world
What I haven't done today I will do tomorrow
I will play my flute until morning comes
My heart and I are in the desert with out kingdom or title
Equal among dozens I will pass my life here
