RACHEL
There was a girl somehwere in the village,
her house immersed the fields of grain
she was a swift-winged one, a butterfly
between the threshing-floor and the garden
by day the wind would sing for her,
by night it would make gentle sounds .
Rachel, Rachel, your light will gleam
gold kisses gold in the braids of your hair
Rachel, Rachel, your wine is gloomy
and in your eyes grapes kiss each other
Rachel, Rachel...
A rose rose from the sands
and beautified its leaves greatly
and there's no dance among dances
that the swift-winged one won't dance (to)
and the sound of her voice among voices
makes its strings shake.
Rachel, Rachel...
And the night came, heavy with dew
and she disappeared in foreign fields
the stars were sad up above
as were the eyes of those from the village
the rose in front of her house went dry ,
and only the wind sang.
Rachel, Rachel...
