LEGEND
AL SFAT YAM KINERET
ON THE SHORES OF THE SEA OF GALILEE

Al sfat yam Kineret
Armon rav tif'eret,
Gan el sham natua,
Bo etz lo yanua,

Mi gar sham? Rak na'ar,
Ka'of bidmi ya'ar!
Lomed sham Torah hu,
Mipi ha'Navi Eliyahu.*

Has! Gal lo koleach.
Kol of ha'poreach
Omed ve'Shomea -
Torat el bolea.

*Shlomit Aharon has the verse sung as "Mipi, mipi Eliyahu" ("From Elijah")

In 1993, Shlomit Aharon performed this song at a festival in Ein Gev (a kibbutz in Northern Israel), which consisted of songs about the Kinneret (Galilee).
