Balayla

At Night

Copied!

balayla noflu tziporim min haken veetzim raadu balayla

At night birds fell from the nest and trees trembled in the night

vehachayim hagedolim nihyu ketanim uvachu lichyot

And the great lives became small and wept to go on living

ulay lo haya od davar barakia ulay meolam lo haya barakia davar

Perhaps there was nothing more in the sky, perhaps there never was anything in the sky

verak mishehu ketzipor shenofla min haken dima limtzo barakia davar

And only someone like a bird that fell from the nest imagined there was something in the sky

velivchi haya tov ki odenu bechi

And the weeping was good because it was still weeping

vetov lidmaot - ki demaot hen

And tears were good - because tears they are

velivchi haya tov ki odenu bechi

And the weeping was good because it was still weeping

vetov lidmaot - ki demaot hen

And tears were good - because tears they are

balayla, tamid balayla shoeg saar eytan umake al lev haanafim

At night, always at night a mighty storm howls and strikes against the heart of the branches

venizkarim haanafim ki libam koev

And the branches remember that their heart aches

umishehu ketzipor shenofla min haken uchanaf shavur

And someone like a bird that fell from the nest and like a broken branch

sheeyno yodea mi hu, mi hu

Who does not know who he is, who he is

nofel gam hu

Also falls

balayla noflu tziporim min haken veetzim raadu balayla

At night birds fell from the nest and trees trembled in the night
