HORA OF THE SPRINKLERS
TURN, TURN, SPRINKLER
The current is making music in the pipe
Pipes – the arteries of the Negev
This is the course of the melody:
From the spigot to the clod
Rise the waters of the deep
The pump spells bread!
Negev O Negev, what has this day wrought?
Negev, the sprinklers are upon you!
Chorus:
Turn, turn, sprinkler, hey!
Turn, turn, sprinkler
To scatter the shining pearls
Turn and spray water
The trees will trumpet in the grove
The earth will bear its fruit
Without rain from the heavens,
Rain from the heavens
The whole expanse is held captive;
The pipes have cast their net
And here is a sign and a signal:
In the droplets, a rainbow appears –
A covenant of the flower and the field
A covenant of the stillness and the melody
Sprinkler, your song is a song indeed
Play it without end
Chorus:
