NATIVE OF THE LAND
 

Aba ,

Shar ani l'cha

Al she'yom echad kamta vatelech.

Ima,

Zeh hashir hu lach

Al y'mei lechteich

Acharei avi lechan.

 

Shemesh ba el hachalon,

Anaf yarok milaila ne'or,

V'yeled shepakach einav lat'chelet,

Kan , b'eretz El,

B'tzel Karmel,

L'yad hanachal.

Daddy,

I sing to you

For one day you rose up and went on your way.

Mama,

This song is yours,

For the days when you left,
following my father, to come here.

 

The sun comes to the window,

A green branch wakens from the night,

And a boy opens his eyes to the blue sky,

Here, in God's land,

In the shadow of Carmel ,

Beside the brook.
