TRAINS OF NO RETURN
 


Yeah, yeah yeah, we need the rain
Yeah, yeah yeah, to wash the trains
Endless nights
Tortured days
Trains of no return

Law-El ani agraw aneni             To God I call, please answer me
Avka bachawl lailaw aneni         I cry every night, answer me
Ten tal umawtawr aneni             Give us dew and rain, answer me
Oh aneni                                      Oh, answer me

Oh, don't let them grow again
Oh, no not again
Don't let them roll again
The trains of no return

Yeah, yeah yeah, we need the rain
Yeah, yeah yeah, to wash the trains
Endless nights
Tortured days
Trains of no return

Law-El ani agraw aneni            To God I call, answer me
Aneni, aneni                               Answer me, answer me

Sham za'aku kolot anenu         There voices cried out, answer us
Ba'aru orot anenu                      Lights burned, answer us
Netzach Yisrael anenu              Eternal One of Israel, answer us
Hu lo y'shaker                            He will not fail us

Kawl ha'or kawl hachoshech   All the light, all the darkness
Sheyoter mikawl ra'u eich        Which more than anything, saw how
Din ha'Elohim molech              The law of God rules
Hem gam mevakshim              They also plead

Yeah, yeah yeah, we need the rain
Yeah, yeah yeah, to wash the trains
Endless nights
Tortured days
Trains of no return

Don't let them grow again
Don't let them burn again
Don't let them roll again
The trains of no return

We need the rain
Don't let them grow again
Don't let them burn again
Don't let them roll again

 

Translator's note:
At first Ofra sings the Hebrew part with Yemenite Hebrew pronunciation,
then the rest (starting at "sham za'aku") are in Israeli Hebrew pronunciation.
