YAMIM SHEL SHEKET
DAYS OF STILLNESS

 

Hineh hem ba'im yamim shel sheket
acharei hara'ash hagadol vehanora
efshar lanu'ach ktzat al hamirpeset
ule'esof et shivrei hase'arah.

Hineh hem ba'im yamim shel sheket
kvar shachachti ech shehem nir'im
efshar achshav lifto'ach et hadelet
lishlo'ach el haru'ach tziporim.

Hineh hem ba'im yamim shel sheket
nitze el hachalon lir'ot
im kalu kvar hamayim
ulai kvar yesh ba'ofek adamah

nabit el hashamaim
nechakeh beyachad leyonah.

Hineh hem ba'im yamim shel sheket
acharei shechvar ibadnu et hakol
teshev iti achshav al hamirpeset
tivkeh iti beyachad al etmol.

Hineh hem ba'im yamim shel sheket
shneinu kan bayachad al hahar
hamayim kvar yardu veyesh kvar keshet
efshar lakum, sof ha'olam avar.

The day of stillness are coming
after the greate and terrible quake
it's now possible to rest on the balcony
and to collect the fractures of the storm.

The day of stillness are coming
I alrady forgot what they look like
it's now possible to open the door
to send the birds to the wind.

The day of stillness are coming
we'll come out to the window to see
if the water has by now parched
maybe there's already soil on the horizon
in pairs, pairs
we'll go out in pairs, pairs
we'll look to the sky
we'll wait together for the dove.

The day of stillness are coming
after we have already forgotten it all
sit with me now on the balcony
cry with me together over yesterday.

The day of stillness are coming
the two of us here together on the mountain
the water already came down and there's already a rainbow
it's possible to get up, the end of the world has passed.
