HACHNISINI TACHAT KNAFECH
Hachnisini tachat knafech,
Vahayi li em ve’achot
Viy’hi cheikech miklat roshi
Ken tfilota’i hanidachot.
Uv’et rachamim, bein hashmashot,
Sachi ve’agal sod yissurai.
Omrim, yesh ba’olam ne’urim -
Heichan ne’urai?
Hachnisini…
Ve’od raz echad lach etvadeh:
Nafshi nisrefah belahavah.
Omrim, ahavah yesh ba’olam -
Ma zot ahavah?
Hachnisini…
Hakochavim rimu oti,
Hayah chalom, ach gam hu avar.
Ata ein li klum ba’olam -
Ein li davar.
Hachnisini…

SHELTER ME UNDER YOUR WING
Shelter me under your wing,
Be to me mother and sister.
May your embrace offer refuge, my head to rest,
And my insincere prayers’ hidden nest.
At the hour of mercy in twilight’s hues,
Speak - I shall reveal my anguish’s truth.
They say that in the world, there is Youth, -
O, where is my youth?
Shelter me under…
Another confidence to you I must confess:
My soul was consumed in the powerful blaze.
They say that in the world, there is Love -
O, what is Love?
Shelter me under…
The stars, too, have betrayed my trust.
Once, I had a dream – alas, forever lost.
Now, in the world, I am bereft -
For I have nothing left.
Shelter me under…
