ANSHEI HAGESHEM


 

Anshei hageshem mitkavtsim b'mileihem
Hem kvar lamdu eich lehatznia et atzmam
Tipot gdolot zolgot mikchol leiloteihem -
Topot gdolot zolgot al elbonam

At merucheket ve'enech ro'ah otam
Hem mekabtzin et chiuchayich bignevah
Ki mabatech od lo pagash bemabatam
Od lo amart lahem - mila tova

Im ahuvayich yafkiruch
Im tachanik otach bgidah
Im leshlom kvar ish otach lo yevarech

Anshe hageshem yachtiruch
Lemalkatam hayechidah
Veyachleku itach et lechem tza'arech

Odech chogeget ve'enech zkukah lahem
Anshei hageshem mabitim bach bechemlah
Lu rak yachlu hayu notim et chayeyhem
Lishmor otach me'oni - oh machala.

THE RAIN PEOPLE


The rain people shrink in their coats
They have learnt how to humble themselves
Big drops running down the blue of their nights -
Big tears of insult

You are remote and do not see them
They secretly gather your smiles
Your eyes haven't met their eyes
You haven't yet told them a good word

If your lovers abandon you
If betrayal strangles you
If nobody will say “Hello” to you

The rain people will crown you
To be their queen
And will share with you the bread of their sorrow

You are still celebrating and you don't need them
The rain people look at you with compassion
If only they could, they would give their life
To guard you from poverty or illness.
