THE SONG ABOUT THE LAND OF SINAI


The song about the land of sinai,
Song of a great journey in the desert
May i be the singing traveler
Who passes in the dirt paths

The song about the land of sinai
The desert dust is mixed in my hair
Clings to my clothes,
And gilds my skin,
And my heart follows my eyes

I grew up in a small country,
Therefore my song is full of astonishment
I grew up in a small country,
Therefore my song is full of astonishment

So great are the plateaus,
Washed in the summer sun
(things) like that,
I have never seen before
So great are the mountains
Which are made of granite rocks,
(things) like that,
I have never seen before

The song about the land of sinai
Is a song of a meeting
With the desert people
May i be a shofar
To the guarding men,
Who sit to the length
Of the dirt hill

The song about the land of sinai
The desert dust is mixed in their hair
Clings to their clothes,
And gilds their skin
And their hands are proficient
With their weapon.

I grew up in a little house
Therefore my song is full of wonder
I grew up in a little house
Therefore my song is full of wonder

So great are the fortifications
At the edge of the hot country
(things) like that,
I have never seen before
The dug up sanctuaries
In the depth of the ground
(things) like that,
I have never seen before

I have matured in this land
And sadness is in the song
Overwhelmed with sights.
I have matured in this land
And sadness is in the song
Overwhelmed with sights.

For her war is so long
For her war is so long
And on her sword she shall live,
And on her sword..

For her war is so long
For her war is so long
Therefore the song is also mixed with grief
