SAIDAH

At hayit yaldah
yafah vechaychanit
lu yad'at kamah saba
ahav bach lehabit.

At vadai einech yoda'at et hasod
shene'elamt beterem raglech lamdah litz'od.

Sa'idah, od ima lach sharah,
Sa'idah, tikvah vechalom,
at chelek me'aba, gam chelek me'ima,
Sa'idah, neshamah shel ima.

Yavshu nachalei,
hadma'ot vehake'ev.
Ve'aba memalmel,
kol yom ani ohev.

Ach lev sheko'ev le'olam lo shoche'ach,
ad matai lah la'em tivkeh vetityape'ach.

Sa'idah...

SA'IDA

You were a girl
pretty and smiling
if you only knew how much grandpa
loved to look at you.

You surely do not know the secret
that you disappeared before your leg learned to take step.

Sa'idah, Mommy still sings to you,
Sa'idah, hope and dream,
you're a part of Daddy, a part from Mommy too,
Sa'idah, Mommy's soul.

The rivers dried,
the tears and the pain.
And Daddy mutters
each day - I love.

But a hurting heart never forgets,
until when will you cry and sob to Mom for her.

Sa'idah...
