LOVE SONG TO THE SEA |

Im od hachoshech rav ve'ein kochav li |
If it's quite dark and there's no star out for me, and if the sea is stormy On the bow of my ship, Mother, light a torch. If the playful sky is pale the ribbon of dawn is thin, Give me your warm hand, bless me, mother. And a heart will strengthen a heart. Above a golden canopy, Beneath an unending abyss. Carry me, o wave, carry me, to the land of my dreams. Carry me in wisdom and do not ask me why. A little bird, a little bird waits for me on the horizon. If my bride is stitching in her dream, a shirt to love, a secret kiss on her forehead, oh Mother, tell her that I'll return. And if she'll ask what's my path in the sea, and what will I turn aside tell her: Offering of miracles, oh Mother, to the soft one that will bear children. |
