al na tomar li shalom
Please do not say goodbye to me
amur rak lehitraot,
Say only until we meet again,
ki milchama hi chalom
For war is a dream
tavul bedam udmaot.
Steeped in blood and tears.
veeyn od shachar leyom
And there is no more dawn to the day
ma agumim haleylot,
How gloomy are the nights,
al ken al na tomar shalom
Therefore please do not say goodbye
amur rak lehitraot. kodru shamayim bevoker kar,
Say only until we meet again. The skies darkened on a cold morning,
geshem dofek al shemashot.
Rain knocking on the windows.
retet sefatayim, chiuch ko mar,
Lips trembling, a smile so bitter,
tzechok beeynayim domot.
Laughter in tearful eyes.
ratzif rakevet, panas chiver,
A railway platform, a pale lantern,
batachana azuva.
At an abandoned station.
esh veshalhevet belev boer,
Fire and flame in a burning heart,
ki hapereda atzuva. al na tomar li shalom. kofot yadeycha, otan anashek
For the parting is sorrowful. Please do not say goodbye to me. Your hands are freezing, I shall kiss them
machog doher al shaon.
A hand racing on a clock.
chovru paneycha, garon chonek,
Your face has gone pale, a throat choked,
ken, zehu tzelil acharon.
Yes, this is the final sound.
shemoshe nofelet, od neshika,
The sun is setting, one more kiss,
hagalgalim kevar chorkim.
The wheels are already creaking.
yad menafnefet, uvilchisha
A hand waving, and in a whisper
osif od kama milim. al na tomar li shalom.
I shall add a few more words. Please do not say goodbye to me.
