BEDUI ZAKEN

Sheket shalvah
yam shel cholot
harim sheba'ofek
noshkim lashamaim.

Sayeret g'malim
posa'at le'at
vechamor menamnem
zaz el hatzad.

Bedui zaken
yored min hahar
mabit hu lema'alah
mechapes ananim.

Holech hu lebe'er
mitbonen saviv saviv
omer le'atzmo
zo birkat elokim.

Sheket veshalvah.

Mefaneh hu gabo
vetzo'ed el hahar
sheket veshalvah
yam shel cholot.

OLD BEDOUIN MAN

Calm, peacefulness
a sea of sand
mountains on the horizon
kissing the sky.

A caravan of camels
is walking slowly
and a donkey dozes
moves to the side.

An old bedouin man
comes down from the mountain
he looks upwards
searching for clouds.

He walks to a well
looks all around
says to himself
this is a blessing of God.

Calm and peacefulness.

He turns his back around
and marches to the mountain
calm and peacefulness
a sea of sand.
