Copied!
boker telalim hirvani velifney derech melech
Morning dew has refreshed me and before me a king's road
nevel vecheter chiberuni leshir maalot
Harp and lyre have joined me for a song of ascent
od hagigi homim bi ultipat keren shemesh
Still my thoughts are humming in me and at a touch of a sunbeam
chut sirfi goda beachat
A silken thread was cut at once
ani mabit, susi yafe, hu al gabo oti nose
I look, my horse is fine, he carries me upon his back
el derech hamelech
To the king's road
derech hamelech hi li darki hayechida
The king's road is my only path
naval hamelech hu sherati
The king's harp is my song
derech hamelech hi li chalom, hi li chida
The king's road is a dream for me, a riddle for me
naval hamelech, ahavati hayechida
The king's harp, my only love
yom shenolad im shachar, kemo machzor shebateva
A day that is born at dawn, like a cycle in nature
ba vetzomecha ulfeta govea balat
Comes and grows and suddenly fades away quietly
uvtuki notzeret shirat zahav nehderet
And within me a magnificent golden song is born
el hayekum esa az tefila
To the universe I shall then raise a prayer
ani mabit, susi yafe, hu al gabo oti nose
I look, my horse is fine, he carries me upon his back
el derech hamelech
To the king's road
