MEY HANECHALIM
(SHIR AL NECHALIM)
THE RIVERS' WATER
(A SONG ABOUT RIVERS)


Mey ahnechalim mekaimim et hazrima

Shana achar shana shana achar shana
Hem yetzanenu et raglenu hadolkot
Raglenu ahdolkot velo et hanshama

Kmo al nechalim zro'otenu mishtalvot
Vegesher mehavot latom velatikva
Hake'ev haze hake'ev hamitlave
Gam hake'ev haze shayach la'ahava

Anashim yotz'im vechoshvim lehitraot
Vezo hakavana vezo hakavana
Pa'am nekayem ki bapetek shebalev
Bapetek shebalev haktovet reshuma

Kmo hanechalim....


The rivers' waters keep the streams year after year
They will cool down our burning feet, but not our soul

Like the rivers our hands get together
And make a bridge to innocence and hope
This pain that follows it belongs to love

People leave and think they will meet again
And they mean it
We will keep the promises because the note in our heart
Has the address
