Middle of the Night in the Village

by Harel Moyal

Copied!
emtza halayla bakefar
Middle of the night in a village
madlik od sigarya lifney maatzar
Lighting another cigarette before arrest
ani shomer umuazin sar meramalla
I am watching and a muezzin sings from Ramallah
beyn anashim beshachor
Among people dressed in black
over od gader shekashe laavor
Crossing another fence that's hard to cross
ani nimtza beyn alchader leveyt ga'la
I find myself between Al-Khader and Beit Jala
ze emtza halayla
It's the middle of the night
veulay kevar meuchar
And maybe it's already late
at lo metaksheret
You're not calling
az ulay avo machar
So maybe I'll come tomorrow
tiri ananim
Look at the clouds
achshav tzivo atzmam afor
They've painted themselves gray now
biglal hamatzav shelanu
Because of our situation
emtza halayla bakefar
Middle of the night in a village
yarecha meir li al zeman sheavar
The moon illuminates the time that has passed
basimtaot chayal sham mitpalel
In the alleys a soldier prays there
(lecha dodi likrat kala)
(Come, my beloved, to meet the bride)
reycha shel serefot
Smell of burning fires
veshuv kashe lirot
And again it's hard to see
shemelave otanu masach shel arafel
A curtain of fog accompanies us
ze emtza halayla...
It's the middle of the night...
rega lifney shenishbar
A moment before it breaks
haboker meir vehalayla avar
The morning brightens and the night has passed
ani chozer vehu od shar sham milemala
I return and he still sings from above
