Copied!
ani rodef achar chukeycha, mechad
I chase after your laws, on one hand
meidach teshukati oti rodefet
On the other my desire pursues me
bosh venichlam avo bisharayich
Ashamed and humiliated I'll enter your gates
vehaleylot haarukim vehabedidut vehashanim
And the long nights and the loneliness and the years
vehalev haze shelo yada margoa
And this heart that will know no rest
ad sheyishkot hayam
Until the sea grows still
ad sheyanusu hatzelalim
Until the shadows flee
lean elech, ana efne
Where shall I go, where shall I turn
kesheeyneycha mabitot bi
When your eyes gaze upon me
eycha evrach, eych lo efne?
How shall I flee, how not turn?
beyn emet laemet, beyn halacha lemaase
Between truth and truth, between law and deed
beyn hayamim hahem lazeman haze
Between those days and this time
beyn hanistar lanigle
Between the hidden and the revealed
beyn haolam haba laolam haze
Between the world to come and this world
rodef achar chukeycha
Chasing after your laws
meidach teshukati oti sorefet
On the other my desire burns me
aza kemavet ayuma kenidgalot
Strong as death terrible as bannered hosts
haleylot haarukim vehabedidut vehashanim
The long nights and the loneliness and the years
vehalev haze shelo yada margoa
And this heart that will know no rest
ad sheyishkot hayam
Until the sea grows still
ad sheyanusu hatzelalim heshivani
Until the shadows flee bring me back
beyn hanistar lanigle
Between the hidden and the revealed
beyn haolam haba laolam haze
Between the world to come and this world
ani rodef achar chukeycha
I chase after your laws
