NADLIK BEYACHAD NER

LIGHT A CANDLE

 

Lif'amim nidmeh she'en tikvah
Vehakol nir'e kol kach afel velo yad'ua
Haprachim od lo parchu
bagan uvasadeh

Uva'erev rak maka haru'ach
Az bou venadlik beyachad ner, ner

CHORUS:
Light a candle
Light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark
Will open our hearts

Lifamim nir'e shehamachar
Lo yavi po nechama labechi velatza'ar
Vehalayla ha'aroch nimshach bli havtacha
Veha'afela chada kata'ar
Az bou venadlik beyachad ner, ner

Light a candle
Light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark
Will open our hearts

Light all the candles
Let's light the candles every where
Just look at me and take my hand
The heat of love will glow again

Some times it seems that there is no hope
And every thing looks so dark and unknown
The flowers have not yet blossomed
in the garden and in the field

In the evening only the wind blows
So come on and we will light a candle together

CHORUS:
Light a candle
Light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark
Will open our hearts

Sometimes it seems that tomorrow
won't come to comfort the crying and the sorrow.
And the long night continues with no promise
And the darkness is as sharp as a blade
So come on and we will light a candle together

Light a candle
Light a candle with me
A thousand candles in the dark
Will open our hearts

Light all the candles
Let's light the candles every where
Just look at me and take my hand
The heat of love will glow again
