BABUSTANIM
IN THE ORCHARDS

 

Babustanim yored bo'er ha'erev
Betzel orot zocher bein ha'etzim
V'et dmutech ani ro'eh overet
Noga'at lo noga'at ba'alim

Ubashki'ah roshech zahav gove'a
Ushchor einayich chobek et shchor halev

Ani kmo tzel elayich mitno'e'ah
Umerachok hatan bavadi meyalel

Ani kmo tzel elayich mitno'e'ah
Umerachok hatan bavadi meyalel

Ani kim'at noge'a bach lo noge'a
Cholefet al panai kil'chisha
At iti vegam eineich kan
Veshuv at ne'elemet bachashecha
Ani otach beshemesh bustanim matzati
Ani ibadti otach im redet leil

Bachashecha ani nitzav mul kochavayich
Bein or rishon ani shuv eheye lach tzel

Bachashecha ani nitzav mul kochavayich
Bein or rishon ani shuv eheye lach tzel

In the orchards, the evening sets in flames
In the shadows of the lights I remember among the trees
And I see your image passing by
Touching, not touching the leaves

And in the sunset, your head is like fading gold
And the darkness of your eyes embraces the darkness of the heart

I am like a shadow swaying toward you
And in the distance the jackal howls in the wadi

I am like a shadow swaying toward you
And in the distance the jackal howls in the wadi

I almost touch you, yet I don't touch you
You pass before me like a whisper
You are with me, yet you are not
And again you disappear into the darkness
I found you at sunlight in the orchards
I lost you at nightfall

In the darkness I stand facing your stars
At the first light, I will again be your shadow

In the darkness I stand facing your stars
At the first light, I will again be your shadow
