derech aruka
A long road
ani keof bindudayv
I am like a bird in its wandering
ani kerucha cheresh, yamim over
I am like a gentle wind, passing through days
shar li kan misetav el setav
here it sings to me from autumn to autumn
derech rechoka
A distant road
vaani tzipor beleyl sagrir
and I am a bird in a stormy night
tzipor beli bayit, ma hi
a bird without a home, what is she
el mul shamayim
before the skies
kesheavad lah sof hashir
when she has lost the song's end
shir harucha al hamayim
The song of the wind upon the waters
velo harbe gevanim
and it has many shades
mi ani hayom uma ani
who am I today and what am I
batzelilim hamishtanim bashir
in the shifting tones of the song
keshehaor al peney hamayim
when the light upon the waters
yesh keshet shel tzevaim
rainbows of colors
mi ani hayom uma hayom
who am I today and what is today
mi ani bashir
who am I in the song
derech rechoka
A distant road
uvsofah nitzevet et
and at its end you stand
avo elayich cheresh
I will come to you gently
kerucha erev
like an evening breeze
nelech itah ad tom yachdayv
we will walk with it together to the very end
derech aruka
A long road
vaani tzipor teluya al bad
and I am a bird suspended on canvas
yadech hoshiti, kiri li
extend your hand, call to me
ki bashamayim kol hashir sheli avad
for in the skies my whole song is lost
shir harucha al hamayim...
The song of the wind upon the waters...
