HASELA HA'ADOM


 

Me'ever leharim velamidbar,

Ho, hasel'a - ha'adom - ha'adom.

Shloshah yatz'u laderech im shki'ah,

lak'chu hem el hasel'a ha'adom.
Ho, hasel'a - ha'adom - ha'adom.

Ho, hasel'a - ha'adom - ha'adom.

Bevadai, et chanu

Anu re'av: hasel'a ha'adom.
Ho, hasel'a - ha'adom - ha'adom.

Ho, hasel'a - ha'adom - ha'adom.

Mate'ach hayeriot hayah katzar.
Ganach echad: niftz'ati - veyidom.
Anu re'av bepeh male afar:
hig'anu el hasel'a ha'adom.
Ho, hasel'a - ha'adom - ha'adom.

Me'ever leharim velamidbar...

THE RED ROCK


Across mountains and the desert
the stories say, there's a place
that a living person has not yet returned from,
and it's called the red rock.
Oh, the red - red - rock.

Three went on the way with the sunset,
against the the mountains' red scorching,
an old dream, a map and a water-bottle
they did take to the red rock.
Oh, the red - red - rock.

The first went (as) navigator, lifting his face,
lookin at the stars up high,
but the view that his eyes saw -
was the view of the red rock
Oh, the red - red - rock.

Surely, they encamped some time
between stones,
one said, like smiting a dream:
I see - its face is white.
His mates answered: the red rock.
Oh, the red - red - rock.

The sun - revolving, beating their heads
and they breathed the hot, desert dust
and suddenly - as though by freezing
it silenced them -
they did see the red rock.
Oh, the red - red - rock.

The shooting salvo was short.
One groaned, I'm wounded and he went silent.
HIs mates answred with a mouthful of ash:
we have arrived at the red rock.
Oh, the red - red - rock.

Across mountains and the desert...
