ALPAYIM SHANA


 

Chorafim shel pa'am
Od nizkar bata'am
Shel hageshem harishon
Im mifras karu'a
Ne'evak baru'ach
Ani lo nichna itach
Anashim shel pa'am
Al kanfey hara'am
Mabitim el hamachar
Va'ani yode'a lehargish kmo yeled
Sherotzeh ligdol itach

Li ein menucha alpayim shana
Tni li smicha gar'inim ve'itom
Ve'elech lishon
Li ein menucha alpayim shana
Kol od hashemesh tizrach
Esha'er rak kan

Mischakim shel mo'ach
Lo zkukim leko'ach
Lehochi'ach mi tzodek
Kshe'halev patu'ach
Az ani batu'ach
Lehikanes itach
Sheyihye kmo pa'am
Pa'am ve'od pa'am
Shenachzor me'usharim
Mipardes shel kayitz
Minofim shel bayit
She'evne lichyot itach

Li ein menucha alpayim shana
Tni li smicha gar'inim ve'itom
Ve'afsik lindod
Li ein menucha alpayim shana
Kol od hashemesh tizrach
Esha'er rak kan

Li ein menucha alpayim shana
Tni li smicha gar'inim ve'itom
Ve'elech lishon
Li ein menucha alpayim shana
Kol od hashemesh tizrach
Esha'er rak kan

TWO THOUSAND YEARS


Old times winters
I can still remember the taste
Of the first rain
With a torn sale
Fighting the wind
With you I will not give in
Old times people
On the wings of thunder
Looking towards tomorrow
And I know how to feel like a child
Who wants to grow with you

I haven't had a rest for two thousands years
Give me a blanket, sunflower seeds and the paper
And I will go to sleep
I haven't had a rest for two thousands years
As long as the sun will shine
I will stay only here

Mind games
Don't need strength
To prove who is right
When the heart is open
I am sure
To come in with you
So we will be as before
And that time after time
We will come back content
From an old time orchard
From sceneries of the home
We will come to build in you

I haven't had a rest for two thousands years
Give me a blanket, sunflower seeds and the paper
And I will stop wandering
I haven't had a rest for two thousands years
As long as the sun will shine
I will stay only here

I haven't had a rest for two thousands years
Give me a blanket, sunflower seeds and the paper
And I will go to sleep
I haven't had a rest for two thousands years
As long as the sun will shine
I will stay only here
