MIN'I KOLECH MIBECHI
Ki baleilot sh'natech nodedet
Vechol chalom hu lemora
Teti az et oznech lasheket
Kol chesed rachamim
Od ya'aleh hineh hu ba
Ki bishvilo nafshech nishmeret
Harei k'reva hi hasha'ah
Ad sheshadud bizr'ootayich
Yipol besof haderech
Ksheyashuvu lig'vulam
Rak mini kolech mibechi
Ve'einayich midim'ah
Ki hasha'ar yipatach lo
Veyavo bo bise'arah
Ksheyashuvu lig'vulam
(x2)
Ad el nachalei hamayim
Derech she'erit kochech
Im yashivenu az nashuva
Mini kolrch mibechi
Yesh tikva la'achritech

REFRAIN THY VOICE FROM WEEPING
For in the nights your sleep wanders
And every dream is of terror
So tilt your ears to quiet
All grace and pity
Will rise, here it comes
Because your soul is kept for him
Indeed the hour is close
until robbed in your arms
he will fall at the end of the road
When they return to their borders
Just refrain your voice from crying
And your eyes from a tear
Because the gate will open
and he will come storming through
When they return to their borders
(x2)
Up to the streams of water
Through what is left of your strength
If he will return us then we will return
Refrain your voice from crying
There is hope for your end

Based on Chapter 31 of Jeremiah
Composer Idan Reichel was inspired by a lecture by Rabbi Israel Lau about the Biblical figure Rachel, crying over her sons who have gone to war and haven't come back yet.
The song is dedicated to the young soldier Gil'ad Shalit who at the time of writing was still being held in captivity, since released.
The words can be found in the Jewish New Year - Rosh Hashanah Machzor - Musaf Service - both days. |
