Ani yotze shuv el haderech hamushetet leraglai
El yamim velelot, el masa chayai
Ani omer shalom lechol echad
Eretz nirdemet velev nifrad

Chalonot nifkachim el emet pshuta
Ani holech ita lechol midbar
Eretz choreget o derech bar
Aval kemey hanachal haso’er

Ve’im mishehu babayit mistakel alai achshAv
Ke’adam le’adam, lo le’or/el or kochav
Ani omer toda bekol nir’ad
Eretz nifredet velev echad
Aval kemey hanachal….
Chozer el hashvilim, el harechovot,

El hazrichot, el hashki’ot

Kemey hanachal haso’er…….

I go out again to the road at my feet
To days and nights, to my life’s journey
I say goodbye to everyone
A sleeping country, a separate heart
My soul still looks through the home I grew up in
Dreams open to a simple truth
I go with it to every desert
Every foreign land or wild path
But, like the river’s stormy water
I always come back
To where a good longing will take me
This is where I belong
If someone back home looks at me now
As a person, not in the light of stardom
I say thanks in a trembling voice
A separate country, one heart
But, like the river’s……
I come back to the roads, the streets,
the waiting arms
To the sunrises, sunsets,
to the most beautiful years
Whatever will happen, whatever happened,
what hasn’t been said yet
Like the river’s……
