HINEI SHANA OVERET
Hinei shanah overet, nishkachat maher
Umanginah nish'eret, hi lo tevater.
Hinei shanah holechet ovedet ei-sham
Umanginah molechet mikan ve'ad olam.
Ha'ahavah bo'eret ach ein li milim,
Hamanginah omeret hakol bitzlilim.
Ani rotzeh lomar lah ve'eineni yachol
Aval be“lah-lah-lah-lah”, omer et hakol.
Hinei shanah overet, nishkachat maher
Umanginah nish'eret, hi lo tevater.
Hamanginah le'olam nish'eret, hi lo tishaver...

ANOTHER YEAR IS OVER
Another year is over, how fast memories fade
Yet its melody lingers, not relinquishing sway.
Another year is ending, lost so far away
Yet a melody lasts from here to eternity.
Burning up with love yet I can’t find the words:
The melody says it all for me, in notes magical.
I want to tell her so much– but am helpless in thrall -
Instead, for me, a la-la-la-la song conveys it all.
Another year is over, how fast memories fade
Yet its melody lingers, not relinquishing sway.
The melody is eternal, will never shatter with time…

A la huella, a la huella
José y Maria
Por las pampas heladas
Cardos y ortigas
A la huella, a la huella
Cortando campo
No hay cobijo ni fonda
Sigan andando.
Florcita del campo,
Clavel del aire,
Si ninguno te aloja
Adónde nace?
Donde naces, florcita,
Que estás creciendo,
Palomita asustada,
Grillo sin sueño? |

On the trail, on the path
Joseph and Mary
Through the frozen pampas
Thistles and nettles.
On the trail, on the path
Crossing the countryside
There’s no lodging, no inn
Keep on going.
Little flower of the field
Carnation of the air,
If no one gives you lodging
Where will you be born?
Where will you be born, little flower
Who is growing,
Frightened dove,
Sleepless cricket? |
