Copied!
ko tzipiti leyom vehigia
How I longed for this day and it arrived
ach madua boche bi halev
Yet why does my heart weep within
mi hafach et simchat pegashatnu
Who turned the joy of our meeting
leitzevon hapereda hanokev
Into the piercing sorrow of farewell
mi hatzar haorev li baderech
Who is the foe lurking on my path
hamaril beerot nechama
Poisoning the wells of comfort
haomnam rachashey gam aleycha
Could it be that even toward you
tanatech chamati hasetuma
My obscure fury stirs
haomnam leshakech et hazaam
Could it be to appease the rage
shel hael hatovea kol bechor
Of the God who demands every firstborn
eekod al gabey hamizbecha
That I would bind upon the altar
gam otcha rachashey hatahor
You too, my pure stirring
(hashir chozer al atzmo paamayim)
(The song repeats itself twice)
