LEIL EMESH


 

Kol hakochavim dol'kim halailah kan
Uvadesheh shar hamamterah
Hu ve'hi yotz'im balailah ledar'kam
Bein hapardasim vehas'derah.

Chorus:
Bemishe'ol belev sadot
Zug poseya levado
Veyadah betoch yado
Kevirkat shalom

Kol hakochavim nosh'rim el habitzot
Vetov'im betoch arafel kaved
Hu ve'hi shom'im pa'amonei chatzot
Velibam oneh lahem kehed.

Bemish'ol belev sadot...

Kol hakochavim kavim im sha-char
Harakiya tzach ve'gam afor.
Hu ve'hi chozrim baderech ya-chad -
Rak leil emesh, hu lo yach'zor.

Bemish'ol belev sadot...

LAST NIGHT


All the stars burn brightly here tonight
And the sprinkler sings in the grass,
He and she go out on their ways tonight
Between the orchards and the rows of trees.

Chorus:
On the path in the heart of the fields
The couple walks alone,
And her hand is in his
As a blessing of peace.

All the stars fall into the bogs
And drown in a heavy fog,
He and she hear the bells of midnight
And their heart answers them as an echo.

On the path…

All the stars go out with the dawn,
The sky is clear and also gray,
He and she return on the road together—
But last night, he will not return.

On the path…
