BEMATANA

GOD GAVE YOU AS A PRESENT

   

Elohim natan lecha bematana
Davar gadol davar nifla
Elohim natan lecha bematana
Et hachayim al pney ha'adama

Natan lecha et halayla ve'hayom
Ahava, tikva vechalom
Kayitz, choref, stav, aviv
Neshama tova lehabit saviv

Natan lecha sadot yerukim
Prachim ve'etzim melavlevim
Neharot, nechalim veyamim
Shamayim, yare'ach, kochavim

Elohim natan....

Natan leach chagim veshabatot
Israel eretz ha'avot
Yadaim verosh lehagshim chalomot
Natan lecha et kol hanifla'ot

Natan lecha dvarim kol kach tovim
Lehavi la'olam yeladim
Leha'azim leshirim, lir'ot tzva'im
Ho, ma rabu ma'asecha Elohim

Elohim ten li rak od matana
Matana ktana ach nifla'ah
Elohim ten li rak od matana
Et hashalom al pney ha'adama

God gave you, as a present
A huge, wonderful thing
God gave you a present
Living on this earth

He gave you day and night
Love, hope and a dream
Summer, winter, autumn, spring
And a good soul to look around

He gave you green fields
Flowers and blooming trees
Rivers, brooks and seas
Heaven, moon and stars

God gave you..  

He gave you high holidays and the Sabbath
He gave you Israel , our fathers' land
Hands and a head to fulfil dreams
He gave you all the wonders

He gave you such beautiful things
To bring kids to this world
Listen to the songs, to see the colours
Ho God, so many are your deeds

God, give me only one more present
A small but wonderful present
God, give me only one more present
Give peace upon the face of this earth
