PRAGUE
el ha'ir shvu'yat hachalom
tzel ka'ved vazar hegi'ach
veyare'ach be'adom
et malchuto taval befi'ach
mi shelo atzam et einav
et leilo hamar ka'av hu
dumiyat kni'aa bli krav
ish et nishko natzar ad mavet
eich al prag shachar lo baka
bashlisheet kala kocho
eich nadam kol kikar homa bechag
shir shechalamti al prag
shir shechalamti al prag
sham hashachar od yivka
sham hashachar od yivka
kmo tatzlum yashan matz'hiv
'eer shel refa'im mutelet
leraglei dubim chershim
u'betzavara hama'achelet
et pitcho ish lo yotze
rei'ach geta'ot malu'ach

eich al prag shachar lo baka...
rak hasheket ba notar
ish tza'ir chomek lefeta
az ala lo or muzar
sham bechikar ha'ir shemeta
shir shechalamti al prag...

PRAGUE
on the dreaming city
a heavy and unfamiliar shadow has emerged
and the moon is in red
dipped his glory in soot
he who did not close his eyes
hurt the bitter night
silence of surrender with no battle
men locked their weapons till death
how on prague the dawn never came
on the third it's power was gone
how quiet the busy square had become
a song i've been dreaming of prague
a song i've been dreaming of prague
there the dawn would come
there the dawn would come
like an old yellow photo
a city of ghosts rests
at the foot of deaf bears
and to her neck the slaughtering knife
no one leaves home
salty smell of ghettos
from one edge to the other
carried by the wind throughout the town
how on prague the dawn never came...
only the silence is left in her
a young man suddenly evades
then a strange light arose
there, at the dead city square
a song i've been dreaming of prague..
