SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

Somewhere over the rainbow
in a cloud,
there's a land of the garden of Eden
like in an old story.

Somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
there all of your dreams
in a moment do come true.

If soon there is a falling star
it will paint my skies in gold
tonight
and then in Wonderland
wishes will come true again
far up there

Somewhere over the rainbow
a song and a garden

Across the rainbow
if only I could fly
(x2)

The bird of bliss is there in the garden
beyond the rainbow
if I could just fly

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Hebrew

 
SHAM ME'EVER LAKESHET

Sham me'ever lakeshet bamromim
yesh pina mufla'a
makom she'elav cholmim

Sham rakia shel tchelet, ein anan

Eshal kochav kochav boded

betoch hatchol harchek me'al
sham kol ke'ev namog katan

El me'ever lakeshet berichuf
gam ani mevakeshet
kmo hatzipor la'uf.

Eshal kochav kochav boded
eich magi'im lesham saper, saper.
