AHUVATI BAT CHAMISHIM
MY BELOVED IS FIFTY YEARS OLD

(The song was written in 1998 for Israel's 50's birthday)

 

Kchulot enayich kmo galey Kineret
Usarech golesh ad chof Eilat

Natati shvuati lach ein acheret
Mechorati sheli at ha'achat

Alayich hinumat tchol veshamayim
Umarganim homim lach chalilim
Eshkol hagefen hanisa bishnayim
Ufsi'otayich yam hashibolim

Ga'agu'ai rabu alfey shnotayich
Chalom kachol lavan bach lehagshim
Veshuv chotzeh et hamidbar elayich
Ahuvati sheli bat chamishim
Veshuv chotzeh et hamidbar elayich
Ahuvati sheli bat chamishim

Miktzot tevel ba'im bisharayich
Elayich eretz kedem chadashah
Ve'at ge'a bif'er yetzirotayich

Vezichronot kol even vechurshah
Bein tzchok ledema at tamid omeret
"aval machar hashemesh od tizrach"
ya'ir hanetzach leroshech ateret
Et shvu'ati la'ad lach lo eshkach

Ga'aguai…..

Your eyes are blue like the waves of the Sea of Galilee
And your hair is gliding down to the shores of Eilat *

I gave you my word, there is no other like you
You are my only home land.

Above you blue sky
and the flowers sing you like flutes
The two messengers carry the cluster of grapes
And your steps are like a sea of wheat

My longings for you are over thousands of years
To fulfill my blue and white dream**
Again I cross the desert to come to you
My beloved one is fifty years old.
Again I cross the desert to come to you
My beloved one is fifty years old.

Through your gates come people from all corners of the world
To you they come, old and new country, all in one
And you take pride in the glory of creations

And memories come from every stone and grove
Among laughter and cry you always say:
"but tomorrow the sun will shine again"
The crown on your head will shine for eternity
And I will never forget my vow to you.

My longings for you......

MI AMADA CUMPLE 50 AÑOS

(Escrita en 1998 para el 50 Aniversario de Israel)

Son azules tus ojos como las olas del Kineret

y tu cabello desciende hasta la costa de Eilat

 

Te di mi promesa a ti, no hay otra

Eres la número uno

Sobre ti está el velo azul del cielo

y las margaritas suenan como flautas

El racimo de uvas es llevado de a dos

y tus pasos son como un mar de espigas

 

Mi nostalgia tiene miles de años

un sueño azul y blanco a concretar

Y otra vez cruzo el desierto hacia ti

mi amada de cincuenta años

 

Desde los cuatro puntos cardinales vienen

a tus pórticos

Hacia ti vienen, tierra vieja y nueva a la vez

Y tú estas orgullosa de la gloria de tus obras

de los recuerdos de cada piedra y cada grieta

Entre risa y llanto tú siempre dices:

"Pero mañana todavía brillará el sol"

La corona sobre tu cabeza brillará eternamente

Mi promesa hacia ti no olvidaré jamás

 

Mi nostalgia.
