*bat hazeman {keshehashemesh ola}*
*Daughter of Time {When the Sun Rises}*
ey paam lefanot shenot elef
Once upon a time, in the years of the thousand
pagashti alma beyn arbayim
I met a maiden at twilight
tzach orah uvahir keeyn chalav
Her skin pale and bright as milk
ma kehot hayu shetey haeynayim
How dark were her two eyes
keshehashemesh ola
When the sun rises
lah lah lah
La la la
hi ola biglalah
It rises because of her
lah lah lah
La la la
veet shuv layla ba
And when night comes again
layla ba
Night comes
hi rak hi hasiba
She is the only reason
hasiba
The reason
hi baa al karney sahar
She came on the crescent's rays
uvyadah haketana nevel pele
And in her small hand a wondrous lute
levadah hi nitzevet bayaar
Alone she stood in the forest
veshira noten bah or utchelet
And her song gave it light and azure
keshehashemesh ola
When the sun rises
lah lah lah
La la la
hi ola biglalah
It rises because of her
lah lah lah
La la la
veet shuv layla ba

*Song for the Road*
lerachok nosea
To the distance he travels
lerachok noded
To the distance he wanders
veal gabo nose masa kaved
And on his back he carries a heavy load
layla mityagea
At night he grows weary
mechapes mistor
Searching for shelter
maftitey halayla umkor
From the temptations of the night and the cold
lo chaser davar
He lacks for nothing
kach tamid yomar
So he always says
lama lanu ze nishma muzar
Why does this sound strange to us
etzlo hazeman over
For him time passes
veeyno sofer
And he does not count it
tamid shehalev ma yesh lo lemaher
Always the heart - what's its rush
lerachok hu noded
To the distance he wanders
em samecha uvoded
Whether happy and alone
lo orez lo zorek velo doeg
He neither packs nor discards nor worries
sheneym asar meytarim
Twelve strings
manimim lo et hachayim
Make his life pleasant
baderachim basadot uvaganim
On roads, in fields and in gardens
lerachok hu noded
To the distance he wanders
em samecha uvoded
Whether happy and alone
lo orez lo zorek velo doeg
He neither packs nor discards nor worries
sheneym asar meytarim
Twelve strings
manimim lo et hachayim
Make his life pleasant
baderachim basadot uvaganim
On roads, in fields and in gardens
*himuri hazaken*
*The Old Teacher*
yom yom otah shaa
Every day at the same hour
roe otah mimul
I see her from across
yoshvim seviv tisha
Nine sitting around
lomdim besilsul
Learning in melody
himuri hazaken
The old teacher
hashot al ketefo
The whip on his shoulder
bemabat bochen
With a discerning gaze
omed al mishmarto
Standing at his post
higia hazeman
The time has come
omeret imi
My mother says
hakol kevar muchan
Everything is ready
lalechet lemorey
To go to my teacher
peot al lechayey
Sidelocks on my cheeks
hasefer beyadi
The book in my hand
mechish paami
I quicken my step
lalechet lemorey
To go to my teacher
*mamash mare nehdar*
*What a Wonderful Sight*
mamash mare nehdar
What a wonderful sight
pirchey yasmin misevivcha
Jasmine flowers all around you
mamash nifla lehabit becha
How wonderful to look at you
besheyaarech asher golesh
In your hair that cascades
timni niflaa at
You are a wonderful Yemenite woman
venehderet
And beautiful
chizri eley
Come back to me
lama hoy mabotcha
Why, oh, is your gaze
mamash holem bi
Striking me
kefatish chazak balev
Like a strong hammer in the heart
veim yagidu borchov
And if they say in the street
virachlu alayich kan bechal hair
And gossip about you all over the city
az li bichlal lo ichpat
Then I don't care at all
ma shechashuv sheken tihyi sheli
What matters is that you will indeed be mine
ho ho ho ho ma yafe at
Oh oh oh oh how beautiful you are
chalomotay hem rak shelech
My dreams belong only to you
od yavo hayom hvlyy
The day will still come, holi
tihyi beyn zerootay leolamim
You'll be in my arms forever
od yavo hayom hvlyy
The day will still come, holi
tihyi beyn zerootay leolamim
You'll be in my arms forever
holay
