Ve'od shir katan utfila la'El
Sheyishmor al kol am Israel

A BALLAD FOR A KING

A SONG AND A PRAYER 

In the fairy tales, some where in the mountains
Sat David the shepherd, with his herd
Without ministers, without kingdom
Only a small song for a crying girl

And another small song and a prayer to God
To look after and guard the people of Israel
In a grass oasis some where in the mountains
Ruled King David, getting old now

He was left alone without a city without family
Only a granddad king and a crying girl
And another small song and a prayer to God
That he will forgive the people of Israel

And another small song and a prayer to God
To look after and guard the people of Israel
In a grass oasis some where in the mountains
Ruled King David, getting old now

Without kings without fairy tales
The song's grief is love
What has the poet left
Only a small song and nothing else

And another small song and a prayer to God
To look after and guard the people of Israel
And another small song and a prayer to God
To look after and guard the people of Israel
