MY ROOTS
ROOTS
Where are my roots if you ask me
whether they are young or old today
my roots are still yellow, please understand
but they are very old and solid
I didn't even research in books or inquire
on the mother road I didn't find each sign
and I suddenly only felt one little thing
that they grow well and this is the time.
Roots - the ways of the forefathers
roots - all the tribes
all the songs of David are now roots
my roots - Solomon's proverbs
my roots - in the prophets
my roots in Jerusalem, miracle of mountains.
Where are my roots if you ask me
whether they are young or old today
my roots are still yellow, understand/believe
oh/but they are very old and solid (too)
And they are well concealed in your grounds
upon the hill, valley, open space and desert
and they drink in their thirst all your waters
and they are set well for tomorrow.
