EREV


 

Erev kvar yarad al kol mah she’od lo asinu.
Laila kvar yarad al kol mah she’od lo nisinu.
Harei od lo lamadnu le’ach’zir et hagalgal
Kmo et hagal hai’yamah

Sheket kvar yarad al kol mah she’od lo hevanu.
Hoshech kvar yarad al kol mah she’od lo yadanu.
Beitach od me’at nishkach
Et kol mah she’hayom hazeh lakach.

Yeled, hu lomed lalechet tza’ad tza’ad,
Anu, na’aseh et zeh kvar machar.
Ach gam machar amarnu zot
Ech zeh shelo shamarnu zot.
Ve’az tered hashemesh, ve’nomar kmo emesh:

Elem kvar yarad al kol mah she’od lo katavnu.
Etzev kvar yarad al kol mah she’od lo ahavnu.
Harei od lo lamadnu la’atzor et hasha’on
Kmo et hayum achorah

Erev kvar yarad al kol mah she’od lo asinu.
Laila kvar yarad al kol mah she’od lo nisinu.
Beitach od me’at nishkach
Et kol mah she’hayom hazeh lakach.

EVENING


Evening has already come down to everything we haven’t done yet.
Night has already come down to everything we have not tried.
After all, we have not yet learned to return the wheel
Like the sea wave.

Quiet has already descended on everything we have not yet understood.
Darkness had already descended on everything we did not yet know.
Surely in a little while we'll forget
Everything this day has taken.

Boy, is he learning to walk step by step,
Us, we'll do it already tomorrow.
But we also said that tomorrow
How is it that we did not keep it?
Then the sun will go down, and it
will be said like last night.

Silence has already come down on everything we have not yet written.
Sadness has already come down on everything we have not yet loved.
After all, we have not yet learned to stop the clock
Like the other day.

Evening has already come down to everything we haven’t done yet.
Night has already come down to everything we have not tried.
Surely in a little while we'll forget
Everything this day has taken.
