*bat hazeman {keshehashemesh ola}*
*Daughter of Time {When the Sun Rises}*
ey paam lefanot shenot elef
Once upon a time, in the years of a thousand
pagashti alma beyn arbayim
I met a maiden between the evenings
tzach orah uvahir keeyn chalav
Her skin pure 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 alone is the reason
hasiba
The reason
hi baa al karney sahar
She came on crescent moonbeams
uvyadah haketana nevel pele
And in her small hand a wondrous harp
levadah hi nitzevet bayaar
Alone she stands in the forest
veshira noten bah or utchelet
And her song fills her with light and blue
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 alone is the reason
hasiba
The reason

*Song for the Road*
lerachok nosea
Far away he travels
lerachok noded
Far away he wanders
veal gabo nose masa kaved
And on his back carries a heavy load
layla mityagea
At night he grows weary
mechapes mistor
Seeking shelter
maftitey halayla umkor
From the crumbs of night and from the cold
lo chaser davar
Nothing is missing
kach tamid yomar
So he always says
lama lanu ze nishma muzar
Why would we need that, it sounds strange
etzlo hazeman over
For him time passes
veeyno sofer
And he does not count
tamid shehalev ma yesh lo lemaher
Always, what does the heart have to rush for
lerachok hu noded
Far away he wanders
em samecha uvoded
Whether happy or lonely
lo orez lo zorek velo doeg
Not packing, not throwing away, not worrying
sheneym asar meytarim
Twelve strings
manimim lo et hachayim
Sweeten his life
baderachim basadot uvaganim
On the roads, in the fields, and in the gardens
lerachok hu noded
Far away he wanders
em samecha uvoded
Whether happy or lonely
lo orez lo zorek velo doeg
Not packing, not throwing away, not worrying
sheneym asar meytarim
Twelve strings
manimim lo et hachayim
Sweeten his life
baderachim basadot uvaganim
On the roads, in the fields, and in the gardens
*himuri hazaken*
*The Old Teacher*
yom yom otah shaa
Every day at the same hour
roe otah mimul
I see him across the way
yoshvim seviv tisha
Nine sit around him
lomdim besilsul
Studying in a melodic chant
himuri hazaken
The old teacher
hashot al ketefo
The rod on his shoulder
bemabat bochen
With a watchful 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 the teacher
peot al lechayey
Sidelocks on my cheeks
hasefer beyadi
The book in my hand
mechish paami
I quicken my steps
lalechet lemorey
To go to the teacher
*mamash mare nehdar*
*Quite a Wonderful Sight*

Quite a wonderful sight
pirchey yasmin misevivcha
Jasmine flowers all around you
mamash nifla lehabit becha
It's truly wonderful to gaze at you
besheyaarech asher golesh
At your flowing hair

You are a wonderful Yemenite woman
venehderet
And magnificent
chizri eley
Smile at me
lama hoy mabotcha
Why, oh, your gaze
mamash holem bi
Truly strikes me
kefatish chazak balev
Like a strong hammer to the heart
veim yagidu borchov
And if they talk in the street
virachlu alayich kan bechal hair
And gossip about you all over the city
az li bichlal lo ichpat
Well I don't care at all
ma shechashuv sheken tihyi sheli
What matters is that you'll be mine
ho ho ho ho ma yafe at
Oh oh oh oh how beautiful you are
chalomotay hem rak shelech
My dreams are only yours

The day will come, oh Lord
tihyi beyn zerootay leolamim
You'll be in my arms forever
od yavo hayom hvlyy
The day will come, oh Lord
tihyi beyn zerootay leolamim
You'll be in my arms forever
holay
Oh Lord
